The size and weight of f4 is indeed very nice. At least I have expected varying aperture like fuji f2.8-f4 instead of fixed f4.
Fuji 18-55mm f2.8-4 (FF: 27-82.5mm), 310g, 64mm x 70.4mm
Sony Zeiss 16-70mm f4 (FF: 24-105mm), 308g, 67mm x 75mm
The Fuji is very very sharp as a kit lens.
With 2 new full frame NEX coming, Sony will have more models if interchangeable lens camera for sale than Canon.
Sony - Nex 3, Nex 5, Nex 6, Nex 7, ILC3000, Full Frame 1, Full Frame 2
Canon - Rebel, 70D, 7D, 6D, 5D3, 1DX
And if you add up the revisions, Sony produce more new cameras than canon in the same period. They spend far more time on cameras then in lenses. Until today there is only 1 tele zoom (55-210). And now with effort devoted to full frame camera and lenses, it is very hard to expect more lenses coming for APS-C E mount.
I hope one day to see something like 16-47mm f2.8.
Fuji did impress me with their X series. but the turn down is the price is 50%++ of a high end NEX like nex 6 & 7.
as for NEX counterpart, kit lenses( SEL1855 or SELP1650) is only a standard workhorse, it hardly reveal the true potential of any NEX body. yet users are not limited to only E mount lenses. adapter for all mainstream or not mainstream lenses are available. the versatility and the possibility of NEX are limitless. Rather you got the choice or the limited expectation.

if i choose between NEX 6 and X-Pro1, i certainly choose X-Pro 1.
but the price
From the very reliable source, NEX 3 & 5 will have refresh model every 1-2 yrs(same as most of their DSC line up) to meet customer demand since this 2 are mainstream model. as for 6 & 7, most likely no successor due to this two model are more like a 'legendary gadget' like RX1 and RX1R. Sony are actually not emphasising the sales of this 2 model and not bother about fans ranting about the pricing. They are meant to be so(PREMIUM). as for NEX FF, i too very anticipating about it... perhaps this upcoming KLPF will show them faces and once again make everybody rage with their skyrocketing price.
As my personal opinion, the NEX FF might take ILC form factor and using current A mount line up with LE-EA adaptor. Since they have made so many fine A mount Zeiss lenses. i think they wont waste much more resources to redevelop a new FF line up lenses.
