Maybe some of the M lenses too, although it seems unlikely to full satisfaction.
But that will still afford them more FF options than they\'ve had to this point. I just won\'t be looking for any rangefinder glass to mount on it. If size is my concern to mate with it for a nice small body/lens combo package, the Oly\'s @ legacy glass come to mind. If size isn\'t a concern, the TS-E\'s large image circle and better ray angles offer the other end of the spectrum on a none (I hope @ none vs. un-filtered like the D800E) AA filtered sensor.
Imo, there are two primary ways of looking at this camera ... one is as the saving grace for rangefinder glass mounting options. The other is as a mirror-less FF camera with existing SLR glass and forthcoming new glass.
Despite the rangefinder glass now being mountable to an FF body, those yearning to rekindle a romance with their rangefinder glass, may find it more like kissing your first girlfriend ... yeah, you can do it, but probably not gonna light your fire quite the same way that you remember it did on film.
@ 1/2 empty vs. 1/2 full ... i.e. not the holy grail or magic beans that we being yearned for @ rangefinder glass.
