All Q lenses are designed for 1/1.7" sensors for their image circle, of course, which seems to be the maximum size of a sensor that can be put into any Q body.

Speaking of lens patents, RP has yet got another new lens patent of an ultra-wide lens used with 43 sensors, but what 43 camera and system they have? So, this is mysterious:

Re: what 43 camera and system they have?
They will have.
What no full frame, instead we are going to get four thirds!? That stinks...

Please relax, there have been at least three Pentax patents for a mFT lens before this one. It doesn't have to mean that Ricoh-Pentax is planning any 43 camera. They still are lens supplier for other companies. Who says it's a camera lens anyway?
OK I'm taking your advice. I'm relaxing now. But if it's not a camera lens, what could it be?
I'm not sure I have to admit, but I don't think Ricoh is planning a Pentax camera with MFT-mount. There is a suggestion about the three former Pentax mFT lens patents that it could be projection (beamer) lenses. Could this Ricoh lens be one too? If anyone has some real information, please let us know.
Ricoh GXR with an active 4/3 mount. Should be nice:) And great to see some love for the Q by Ricoh!
