Yes, by using mount adaptor. Lens need to focus manually only. Old Nikon lens aperture can be control but new ones will stop down to its maximum f.
I personally believe that manual focus and aperture "guessing" can be quite an interesting experience, a bit like "back the Photography old times" and you can learn a lot with the process.
By combining Nex-5 excellent sensor (especially if you are using DX lenses, because those lenses match the sensor size in a 1:1 proportion) with a very good nikkor quality glass, it can produce wonderful results.
The best Sony Alpha mount adapter for using different lenses on Sony Alpha cameras is the Sony LA-EA4 adapter.
no, the nex lenses more smaller than alpha cameras.
Sony Alpha lenses are specialty lenses for cameras. These lenses can be found at Sony's online store or through retailers that cater to professional photographers such as CameraLabs and PhotoZone.
The AF 'A' Mount Minolta lenses work on the Sony, also sigma and tamron do a range of lenses to fit Sony Alpha models.
Sony does not sell Nikon camera lenses, you can different websites like Amazon, Ebay or the official Nikon website. The price will vary depending on the type of lens you are looking for.
Some of the best lenses compatible with the Sony Alpha 230 camera are the Sony 50mm f/1.8, Sony 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6, and Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6. These lenses offer good image quality and versatility for different types of photography.
It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.
Some of the lenses with the best reviews for the digital SLR include the Nikon 55-300mm AF-S and the Nikon 35mm Nikkor Lens. You can read more about and purchase these lenses from the Adorama website.
To use a Sony E lens on a Nikon body, you would need an adapter that is specifically designed to connect Sony E-mount lenses to Nikon camera bodies. These adapters allow you to mount the Sony E lens onto the Nikon camera, but keep in mind that some features may not work perfectly due to compatibility issues between different camera systems.
Both are excellent cameras. The Sony is a continuation of the Minolta camera legacy, and all Minolta DSLR lenses (and some film lenses) will fit most Sonys. Nikon has probably the broadest range of available accessories; one major online vendor carries over 200 different Nikon lenses. If you plan to get into photography in a big way, Nikon is probably the best bet. Otherwise, either will do a good job for you. The writer is unbiased, as he uses Pentax cameras.
"Some of the best models of HD cameras are made by Sony. They are the Sony NEX5, the Sony NEX C3, and the Sony A35. There is also the Canon Powershot cameras which are comparable to the Sony cameras."
