I don't know. If Sony come out with a curved sensor body, they many need to abandon those FE kits.

Yes I agree, wherefore then?

But Sony conspicuously did not make a huge range of really good lenses for aps-c use either.

Looking at it more soberly we might see them as principally a camera body company foremost and the lenses as almost an afterthought.

Is it true that curved sensors lead to cheaper lenses? Cheaper or better?  Maybe Sony will start to make more lenses in future?

I have more lenses than I can poke a stick at so this guy might just have to survive on old technology.  View cameras lasted for a while after the Leica was first introduced.
