Originally posted by crewl1 I for one am looking forward to it and hope the rumors are true.
I'm excited for a milc that natively supports our k-mount lenses.
If the weight and dimensions rumours are true, it may be a modified/crippled k-mount, or a mirrorless k-mount.
The stated inclusion of a new DA 40 also says something.
If the flange distance is not kept to the K-mount identity exactly, a huge slew of legacy glass will not focus properly and not to infinity.
Unless you get an adapter, probably for SDM lenses, screw drive, etc.
Hard to tell if this is a sidebar evolution of the K-mount. I suspect if it is NOT, then the issue will be the size of the body being larger than NEX/m43, etc.
If it IS a modified K-mount requiring new lenses for many FL's, the issue will be one of it being a bastard child, and really a new mount in all but name.
