If you aren't worried about autofocus and are ONLY going to use manual focus, I suggest you stay away from the DT 50mm 1.8 and look for an older Minolta 50mm f/1.7. These may range from $50-100, depending on the condition, and they are also full frame lenses, if you ever decide to go full frame. But there is no built in motor, and thus, you cannot use autofocus with it on the NEX (but you will be able to with alpha bodies).

Hmm.
Yeah I upgraded the firmware already. I just want to find a use of the LA-EA1 adapter. Lol.
I already have the a Minolta 50mm 1.4 for the nex. Maybe ill save the money and pick up a Canon FD 55mm f1.2 with the money instead.
Thanks.
