    Who hit it with the ugly stick? Own up.

    That's horrendous. You can use an adaptor to maintain distance to backplane for legacy lenses - then you don't need such a fat camera. Bizarre.

    you ain't go no aliby, you UGLY!

    Thing is, whilst this is quite a boring release, it will be interesting for people who want a camera you can't use in sunlight, that works with all the K-mount lenses!

    Apparently it feels better than it looks....

    (Still don't get the point of APC-S mirrorless, good luck shooting in sunlight without horrible electronic eye mounts)
