    A big part of this system is the lens mount, the point is that it would be as easy as possible to use a wide range of lenses on this.

    I also tested mounting a Compound #5 behind the lens standard. Its makes perfect sense, as then the shutter no longer has to carry the weight of the lens.

    Yes, only some of them cover 4x5". I think the 55 & 65mm won't cover, others should. They are also retrofocus, so not sure do people want to use the shorter lenses.. but that's up to them.

    Yes, both the camera & GX680 mount will be a finished products.

    The GX680 mount will be an additional module you can get separately, and the camera will fully support it.
