I got an adapter to use some LTM lenses with a m4/3 Panasonic. What interests me the most is the Sony NEX and all of the adapters it has. I think Sigma's biggest mistake has been producing a dSLR that uses only Sigma lenses. If they had a dSLR that would (via adapter) use everyone else's lenses, that would be a keeper.
