[Leica] SONY A7 new model.....

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

Quite so.
Why they would change the microlens orientation to make the sensor suitable 
for a type of lens very few photographers use, thereby making it less good 
for their own lenses???????
They would be daft.
Maybe it would be cost effective to do a special body for symmetrical (ish) 
lens types but probably the market is too small to recoup the development 
costs over the likely tiny production volume.
Can?t see it ever happening myself.
