Re: Full Frame NEX-?

I think that the very most we can expect from the "takes both E- and A-mount lenses" rumor is that they'll include a free LA-EAx adapter with the camera body. Pretty unlikely if you ask me.
The masterstroke for Sony would be to build a FF NEX that they can sell for around $1799. It wouldn't need loads of features and could even use an older sensor (they could put out a higher-end model for that)...it would effectively just be a FF NEX-7. It'd sell like crazy, as it'd be the cheapest currently-produced FF option out there on top of being tiny. Hell, a FF NEX-5n would work too. A full-frame sensor is about the only thing that'd make me ok with giving up a viewfinder.
Of course, none of that has even the tiniest chance of happening, but a man can dream.
One silly, yet potentially important issue with a FF nex: the 24, 35, and 50mm lenses. They've always struck me as strange choices, as of the three only the 24mm "makes sense" as an APS-C focal length. 52.5mm and 75mm equivalents? Odd. So now, because Sony decided to go with easily recognizable FLs on their NEX primes rather than slightly different numbers that would have corresponded to more standard equivalents, they're going to be stuck selling two of each; one for APS-C and one for FF. Think of how many people are going to be returning SEL50F18s to Best Buy when they realize they should have bought the other one? Obviously not many people on here will make that mistake, but you can bet plenty of others will.
