show me some HEAVY distortion samples to me. I'm using my 16mm pretty satisfied.
at last way better than many of the uwa out there, better than my nikon 16-35D that i got before

my casual camera terms means its small and light,
dslr is not.
and dslr usually made for professional, because generally dslr lenses has a lot of choices to let them choose,
and pick up different perspective in terms of output.

i do hope sony release most of the "pro" lens,my dream lens in nex line up would be a 24-70 F2.8
why ppl nowadays has the impression mirrorless must be associate or can only sensibly be use with pancake lens,for me pancake lens is for girl,just my opinion,no offense though
but the good reception of the relatively large 24mm zeiss lens is indication that not everybody who elected to go mirrorless is pancake lens fans,there are ppl opting for quality,small dimension of pancake lens would be limiting factor of this.
in my opinion if you opt for pancake lens,you better off looking for m4/3 system,their sensor format is better suit to this kind of lens,where the larger sensor format of nex is better optimize for quality

24-70 with crop sensor equivalent fov is actually my favourite focal length(36-105),it was my dream lens during my canon 7D ownership period,i don like wide angle,i mostly shot scene portrait and traditional portrait,but thats just me,and i guess sony would make something like 17-55 f2.8 instead,that would be awesome too

anyway,if u know me,i came from DSLR background and i'm the minority who go into mirrorless mainly for the accuracy and recent improvement in speed of CDAF,not entirely because of the reduce size

i don't like big body but don't mind big lens,big body don't necessary attribute to better image quality,but big lens usually do,after all image quality is the biggest reason ppl opting for any large sensor interchangeable lens camera,be it DSLR or m4/3,making a good camera body with great chunky sensor but spoil it with crappy girly pancake apple lens sounds like iphone marketing to me;making it a lifestyle product,not a photography tools

anyway if form is the major factor for you,why not getting a high end prosumer compact,it would be so much smaller,simpler,cheaper,cover even more focal length
