What do you think? Slap one of these puppies on any NEX and you're in full frame land.

This is like 1.4 TX but with 1/1.6 "magnification". It makes the 135/2, for example, a crappy 85/1.2 lens. Like the cheap wide angle adapters that you can screw on top of your lens but in this case, it goes to the back of the lens.

Even better, you've got lower F stops for all your lenses.

No, it is not better. 135/2, for example becomes 85/1.2 but that is on crop, so it is equivalent to 135/2 again.
