With the mirror less platform being so versatile and accessible for anything and everything, it is possible adapt anything and it does not have to be even an ultrafangled nikkor.  Shown here is a triplet from an old Soviet compact film camera, a 45/4 lens.  Bought for 8 € on ebAy and ready to use.

russian lenses have their own character, i like them
if you´re in "that business"  i can recommend the VNEX system
it will allow you to mount nearly any lens on your Alpha

Intrepid:
Thanks for your thoughts, Thomas.   :)

I think that is an useless piece of contraption for the full frame bodies.  If that is incorrect, please point me to some real samples (ie., photos taken using that contraption on FF at infinity).
