This really looks interesting and may actually be a good solution for those of us that like manual controls. The new pancake lens also has promise. Need to see some samples.

Hope an adapter for M lenses appears soon, I actually like this one so far!!

Samsung is determined to be a player in this industry. Sometimes it takes a new entrant to shake things up. I applaud them. Interesting idea.

The internal diameter of the mount is smaller, and the registration distance is only about 2mm shorter than M. I doubt an adapter is possible.

This is certainly an "outside the box" system. I'm intrigued by the f2.0 30mm.

Same here. I wonder if that lens will be made to keep cost down, or produced with a quality image in mind. The ability to control main functions without taking eye off of screen/viewfinder and being able to control things via a simple/well practiced movement is a big plus and something that appeals to me. One negative is the low resolution electronic finder.
