Pasha,

There is a 7x increase when using the SONY lens adapter.
So, a 50mm lens will give you the look of a 350mm lens.
A wide angle 20mm will be 140mm.
So not practical unless you need telephoto reach.

You get that "film movie look" with the Letus because the lens that is used, projects the image onto a 35mm sized glass screen, THEN it is recorded.

The difference is the 35mm sized screen. That is what gets you shallow depth of field.

So the SONY adapter still uses the cameras 1/3" chips.
