I think people are getting confused in their thinking about the FOV, the resulting DOF, and thinking somehow the a f2 somehow becomes a f1.4. The converter is simply negating the 1.5x crop of the APS-C sensor so the equivalent focal length and thus DOF is closer, if not the same, as on a FF camera. There is no magic done to turn the lens into a larger aperture lens.
"On the NEX 7 the camera reports the maximum aperture as F1.3 and it is certainly brighter. The difference in exposure that the Speed Booster brings allows me to shoot at ISO 1600 on the NEX 7 where ISO 3200 is required on the 5D Mark III."
The only way a third party would is if Pentax made one first and made a camera to match. There's nothing keeping Pentax from doing so to my knowledge.
Even then it won't be worth it as Pentax FF lens line up is thin. That's adding a lot of cost to the camera body for little gain. Canon and Nikon, on other hand, have large FF lens line up (including full-frame manual focus Zeiss lenses).
Sticking with the K-mount for mirrorless camera itself makes it the number 1 limiting factor.
horter flange mounts.
Maybe a plus, maybe a minus. What's the cost of the adapter, $500-600? There are a lot of Nex users that won't even pony up $300 or $500 for a native Nex lens.
And there are others who are using Nex-7 with expensive M mount lenses.
And then there are videographers who are using the E-mount FS100 and FS700 in their professional work (and most of them own Canon lenses -- as most of them are previous owners of 5D Mark II). This adapter (especially the Canon to Nex version) is especially designed for those people, and the price (relatively) is very cheap.
Phillip Bloom is perfect example of type of people who would want this adapter .. he is already covering it on his site

FS100 is pretty close to 5D Mark III in price, and the image quality (for video) is way superior than DSLR. That's the market that would be #1 buyers of this adapter.
