Just tried it and no bueno. Worth a shot for sure! I think that is the reason people are chipping these so they do get focus confirmation. The Nikon versions have the chip (at least the 35 does) and I read people are buying those and using a Nikon to EOS adapter to get focus confirmation.

aghh shit. I thought you were talking about the SLT's, not the nex. For a second I did a double-take and said "no fucking viewfinder"???? I don't speak Sony too well as you can see
I think you have me confused with someone who is far less awesome.
