It's remotely conceivable that it hasn't been commented on here before, of course

Nice! Well, I hope that if there is another significant delay of the FFF they will go ahead and make another SD Quattro, but in L mount, and with a new processor, so it will work faster. I guess they'll have to put an IR blocking filter right on.the sensor too. It could be the first new L mount camera that sells for under $1,000. I'm guessing they'd have to make some software changes to the focusing system, so it can work with all the L mount lenses, but they've obviously made their fp L work with L mount lenses, so it would be fairky simple to port that programming over to the software/firmware that makes the SD Quattro work, presumably.

I wonder how long it would take to do all that. Oh, and I guess the power switch will need to be moved too.
