I doubt it. They had the opportunity to do 24x36 with the M module and didn't. And M mount lenses cost more than K mount lenses typically. Plus the M mount module has no AF, a K mount module without AF probably wouldn't float IMO. So I think it will be APS-C and I doubt it will generate huge sales. Then again, I've been wrong before =) Cheers Ecke
