NX lens on NEX cameras?

I have the opportunity of buying an used NEX-5n (body only) for a nice price. I'm not interested in the NEX lenses, since they are not so sharp and fast. So if I buy that camera I'd like to use it as a companion to my NX100 to use with legacy lenses and in low light situations.

I have Samyang 85mm f1.4 for NX mount, that'd be a nice lens to use with NEX body with focus peaking.

Do you know if there is an adapter NX to NEX? In theory that should be possible, considering that NX has a flange distance of 25.50mm, while NEX E-mount stands at 18mm.

Besides I'm wondering if the 60mm macro for NX can be used on NEX, considering that the 60mm has a "real" focus ring. The problem is the aperture, I guess, so if no adapter exists allowing to modify the aperture manually, the lens will be stuck at the same aperture.
