This would be nice if a modular approach would offer manual focal length and aperture communication to other mounts. Suppose the same “back end” had bayonet to fit mirrorless bodies with the same ...

It’s early to comment based on the video that jumped embargo but that won’t stop me… I hoped that EVF would distinguish these cropped R’s from M system but these sound like the same M viewfinder. ...

an unfortunate repeat of EF flange distance greater than FD    situation
