    Jim,
    I am curious what the optimal focal length range is for physically building the smallest/simplest lens for the the FE mount Sony cameras, without having special element designs making a virtual focal plane necessary? Theoretically, mirrorless wide angle lenses could be smaller then DSLR lenses, since the lens elements are closer to the sensor plane. Also, I know electronic sensors can not detect light at the high angles film could.

    This brings up a second question. How does this affect lens performance and design with adapters. It seems focal lengths that are optimally designed for mirrorless would be best/simpler without adapters.
    Thanks,
    John
