Pacs, I'd like to take the subject "NEX as a DSLR Replacement" in a new direction:

What would it take to transform a NEX into a super-camera capable of rendering images on par with a 5D or counterpart, I ask? Well obviously a super-lens. Looking at DxO lens ratings, even the best mirrorless lenses including the SEL 35 will only score a mid-pack 7. But what if we adapt the very best-scoring, such as the Sony 85 SAL with a score of 13?

Besides, we badly need an 85 for NEX, right?

I plan to do a work-up on this and present in a new thread, soon.

I'd been waiting to hear about 85mm (and at least an f/2) for E-mount, but I'm now thinking Sony Zeiss 85mm/1.4 instead with the idea being that NEX will be primary for primes thru 60mm, with zooms and larger primes from A-mount. The downside will be lack of OS in most of these (especially important with longer FLs), but I also have A55 to handle those needs.
