The distance between the lens mount and sensor doesn't need to remain fixed. The first brand to introduce expanding/collapsing lens mounts can offer full backward compatibility support for legacy lenses and truely compact size with new lenses designed for the shorter distance. Olympus, Panasonic, Sony and Samsung already missed the opportunity, hopefully Pentax, Nikon or Canon would retain their existing mounts and introduce an expanding mechanism to please both the mirrorless and the DSLR crowds. No need for adapters either :-)

How do you want to do something as slim as an Oly pen with the 17mm with the senor to mound distance of the Nikon F?
