But what would the new lenses look like?

Do you think it is possible.

I suppose my nex lenses will not work any more.

They will work in crop mode, using the APS-C size centre of the sensor.

On the FF VG, it's only FF for adapted Alpha mount lenses which helps with the angle-of-incidence issues on the sensor.  Obviously they can continue with that approach with a smaller body,  but what type and size of FF "native lenses" could Sony make?  The huge rear element close to the sensor of the RX1 lens  won't work as-is because of the focal plane shutter.  Legacy designs don't have the focus systems for fast sensor-based AF.  Given Sony's rate of introduction for NEX lenses, how long before there is a useful set of FF native lenses at what prices?

It's technically possible - is it economically viable in the current market?
