E Mount?

[/p/]

Thoughts on E mount lenses? For someone (maybe me) who plans on upgrading to a Sony video camera down the track would E mount lenses be a good investment?

 

Zeiss just released the new E mount Touit E mount lenses which look pretty nice.. But they are somewhat expensive would it be better to just buy and adapt ZF.2's? 

 

What about Sony a mount lenses? There is a few nice ones, would those be any good for adapting to Sony video cameras? Anyone got experience using alpha lenses on something like an FS100 or FS700? I know Sony make an adapter themselves that allow you to adapt and control alpha lenses but does it have any limitations?

 

What about the new mount Sony are using on the F5 and F55? Is that E and Alpha mount compatible or is that a whole new mount for their video cameras that you won't be able to properly utilize E/alpha lenses on?

 

Side question, does anyone have experience using NEX cameras for video work? Just curious as to how they perform, thanks.

I rented a 70-200mm f/2.8 Telephoto to use with an FS100 once. With the adapter in place, the whole camera rig was about 3' long and pretty unwieldy. But the images looked great.
