Originally posted by jogiba The Sony NEX-5N with slow 16mm pancake is very small but with almost any other lens it's a joke.
NEX-5N with 35mm F1.4 Samyang :
Choosing to feature a very large example of a lens to prove a point isn't very fair. That lens on any body is huge.The 5N with the kit lens still lighter and overall much smaller than the K-01 with the 40 and certainly MUCH smaller than the K-01 with the 18-55 kit lens. To get an idea of the depth, check out the link...add the kit lens to the NEX and it is no thicker than the K. Never mind half the weight.
Given also that there are several new E mount lenses coming from Sony this year as well as several third party makers have released and announced small lenses for this system, it is only a matter of time until the complain about lenses for the NEX is a distant memory, never mind that fact that you can stick any lens you can find on it thanks to the endless number of adapters on the market, including M42>E and PK>E.
Compare camera dimensions side by side
Anyway,
