That (stupid?) idea is back again: Mirrorless mount for your smartphone

A decade ago Sony launched the QX10, QX30, QX100 and QX1 E-mount cameras (see the image on top). The idea was that you could mount it on your smartphone and use E-mount lenses and a larger sensor to get better picture. The QX1 was the flagship model using a 1 inch sensor.

Now a Chinese company is reviving that very same idea and it has launched the SwitchLens project on Kickstarter (Click here). It allows MFT lenses to be used on a device directly connected to the smartphone. They may launch an E-mount version of this system in the near future. But I don’t know why it would work this time? What do you think?
