3 rumor lenses:
16mm f/2.8 Pancake
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
18-200mm Zoom
Adapter allows the use of Alpha Lenses with AF.
I guess would be limited to SSM lenses only.....
In addition, it would be interesting to see how Sony can work out an adapter which can link with the mechanical aperture stop down lever of the Alpha lenses..........
Actually that is not al all hard to do, its similar to electronic aperture control , what is needed is only a ( pretty quick acting ) solenoid in the adapter, and considering these days how powerful and how small these things are, its simply a trivial matter.
The motto though is why bother, if I am Sony, I do not build this so one can use old Alpha lens, I build it so I can grab a sizable chunk of this particular new market, just as Panasonic / Olympus / Samsung trying to do. What matter is who among them is bold enough not to keep re-iterating those zoom. This category is sort of like Contax G series when fisrt launched, it's going to benefit by not repeating the SLR setup, and these by not repeating the DSLR setup ( which is all those slow 18-55 & 50-200 zoom, really are )
I guess the multitude of people using the Gf1 / EP serties without actually using those zoom tells them something already. But then there is ( as Japanese goes ) unwilling to take the risk of running black sheep ( not even Samsung )
Picture this, instead of launching with those zooms, keep the 16 Pancake, and deliver the camera with additional 28mm/2.0 ( not needing to be pancake , a fast but good standard ), and a fast 2.0/55mm ( pretty much your 85 portrait in DX format ). Sure I am not saying the zoom are not needed, but they are not the lens to made the system ..
