[Leica] Sony Full Frame NEX

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

When you say "even in light ? or lack of it ? that the M cannot focus in" I 
guess you are not talking about the current M (type 240)?

As for size, I know the size of the current NEX but was saying that size 
would be negated by a bulky Alpha lens much like my M on a 70/180 ;-) What 
would be the business reason for Sony to bring out a new camera range but 
expect people to be using non-Sony lenses? It may be a by-product, like Fuji 
X, but not a primary reason unless Sony really want to burn money.....
