Already seeing shots through M lenses on it . I have an M for that ;-) Some very interesting design details in there in any case. The new Visoflex arrangements and the 6 BIT code reading M adaptor too (not just a mechanical adaptor that brings up a menu) for two. The huge touch screen for operation and viewing will be very familiar to iFolks. A lot of very different thinking in the design which will maybe polarise opinions Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 25 April 2014 23:39, Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> wrote: > Geoff, I see it as a prettier, easier-to-use camera that does much the same > thing as my A7r. > except the full frame > except the internal viewfinder > except the swivel screen. > except the price > > > On Fri, Apr 25, 2014 at 8:26 AM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com > >wrote: > > > I think that everyone commenting is thinking " can I use it as a mini M > or > > a mini R10?" > > This is really not what it is for and maybe we are not its target market > at > > all.
