This is of importance to many of us, and most of the larger world of customers 
for this type of camera.

But as Ken has pointed out, at some length, for that army of potential buyers 
who DON'T want native lenses, only a 
digital back for their MF lenses, it is of no interest. The A7/7R would be of 
interest to him even if Sony hadn't got 
around to producing ANY lenses for it. (AG, NONE of this is meant as criticism, 
except maybe 'army', only clarification.)
