I think adding these lenses as part of a kit is a good start to have people buying in. Renting Cooke's up here comes in around $200 CDN/ lens per day so there has to be a middle ground. I did see a post on an XDcam user site where they looked at the F3 mount and it was close to the EX 3. Just a nip and tuck here and there. I'm sure those adapters will come out fast so that it opens up the still lens arena as well.
I think all your comments about Nano/Kipro etc are right on. Sony also talked about the new SR tapeless recorder this summer. The two types. One paired for the F35/9000 market and one for the F3. I also think other manufacturers are working on solutions to record that 4:4:4 S-log. It will be a whole new world by next summer

. I thought yours and Stargate's looked the best from the one's the showed imo. Excellent colours and shots. The camera was beautiful I must say, picture, ergonomics and style. I really like the layout of everything, and the fact they have a lot of standard mounting threads (4 or 5 I think) in useful places on the camera which I can already think of useful for so many things, similar to what they have on the much more expensive 9000 and f23. The 5600k button by the lens is pretty cool, as well as the S&Q dial on the side, expected on a camera this price, but very nice that they added these. The prime lenses look really nice, and the fact they are going to have a powered zoom PL lens coming I thought was great, works with the zoom rocker built on the camera. If this compares at all to the primes I've seen from them, that would be pretty great. Similar menu to the ex1 and ex3 too which is pretty great for those of us already used to this layout (like myself). Really amazing s/n ratio on this camera, viewing it projected, it had little to no noise at all, but much of what was filmed properly had a very beautiful, soft feel to the flesh tones and a very pleasing bokeh. The SR Recorder and media as well as newediting workflow with NLE's thats coming, this is a major step in the right direction and bringing 4:4:4 RGB at a very acceptable price point for lower budget filmakers, will be great for many filmmakers worldwide. Kudos to Sony for building a great digital film camera at a really cheap price point. Please no one ever mention this compared to an AF-100, it is a completely different camera, targeted at a different market, and I think a somewhat newly created market.
