Leica is “worried” about the huge NEX lenses.

Alfred Schopf (chief executive of Leica Camera) had an Interview with Asiaone where he reveals: “his reticence to follow the design route taken by Sony with its compact mirrorless NEX cameras“. He literally said: “They have compact bodies and huge lenses in front. I feel a little bit stressed by that design, to be honest.” He also confirmes that they will make a mirrorless system (non rangefinder). There were rumros saying that Leica would use Sony’s APS-C sensor for the system. I would be happy if Leica would go a huge step further and share the same E-mount. I am just dreaming I know…
P.S.: Meanwhile you can use manual M-mount lenses like the one I am using, the [shoplink 8725]Nokton 35mm f/1.4 (Click here to see it on eBay)[/shoplink] if you need compact fast lenses!
