Here's the deal with the FD mount for the moment: I'm packaging Nikon lenses for people who have only Canon lenses currently. I charge them as little as possible, getting great condition used lenses and passing them on with little markup.
Meanwhile, there are a series of machine shops in Brooklyn that I'm aproaching about the FD mount and other projects, but even supposing I started the design/production cycle today, it's 6-8 weeks lead time for something like that. In short, it's a long way off.
I'm really concentrating on building a business with what I already have -- making this system the best and most solid product I can -- before branching outward. My new motto is underpromise and overdeliver, and I'm trying to make that the case as often as possible. I'd certainly like to add new mounts (including PL) but I just don't have the capital to do so yet -- I'm still recouping my investment in the initial run of 100 components.
I will let everyone know as soon as I do about any upgrades and additions. My hope is to keep everything backwards-compatible with what's already shipped.
