Sounds good, but how will you identify a pro if he hasn't got a huge white lens in his hands!

It'll take years before any of us can get our grubby mits on one!

I live in hope.

Should be available just about the time I become too old and decrepit to work with large and heavy zoom lenses.






Middle of next year then ...


If I read the description right the lens is basically a film of material attached to the sensor. No dust problems then?

Might mean an SLR simply becomes a module swap onto a memory device which has a battery and built in flash.

Or perhaps SLR becomes Single Lens Refraction?
