Exactly I was just going to post somewhat the same thing.
What we have here is a role reversal. Usually we buy a camera than figure out what lenses to buy for it. In this case the Sony is like a 36mpx MF back where we can adopt it to different systems. MF back owners are used to that role reversal. Now Sony comes out with a sensor that every Nikon, canon, Leica M and R lens owners are looking at plus others Like Sony A owners that now can adapt a 36mpx sensor to their existing glass collection.
I believe many are not looking at the E glass so much and going the standard route but adapting the sensor to what they have in their bags today.
Very interesting and welcome change and it really is the chance to use outside of Nikon folks to get to 36mpx sensors in 35mm photography. In theory this is cool as ****, now we have to think how practical it is to our needs.
BTW I totally get just go buying it because one wants it regardless of need. I talk from a Pro seat so I think a little differently as it has to make me money to justify it. Hobbyist have much better freedom to buy something for no other reason than just because I want it. Which I envy that freedom
