mdude85 wroten the other hand, an M-mount lens still needs an adapter to be used on non-M-mount body, so the pool of buyers is limited to people who have those adapters. I think it would be rather niche, but you make a valid point.
It's not niche at all. Plenty of people are using their M mount glass between various systems, and some adapters even make the lenses autofocus, which is pretty fun. M glass is special because it's small, doesn't need a thick adapter in most cases, many lenses actually focus to infinity at the hard stop, they cover every full frame sensor (and of course more than cover APS-C sensors), and there is 100 years worth of M glass floating around.
