I travelled to Spain this summer with a K100D Super and a Sigma 17-70 lens and got back some very nice snapshots. The lens covered 99% of what I needed, only used the 70-210 for two shots. Still, there were times when walking the streets of those small towns when I found the Super too large, an annoyance. What's more, there were times when I would've liked to cut out the noise of the mirror slap and shutter. Sounds to me like this new format could just possibly do the trick, as some have mentioned, similar to a rangefinder. Let's just say, I would like to see this format work, if only to give us all a new choice in the marketplace.
