Now that Sony is willing to [url="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1042&message=36430892&changemode=1"]release[/url] the specifications and protocols of E-mount, it seems like the an excellent choice.
Then there's Leica M-mount, but without AF it's going to be far less attractive to the typical GXR user.

I don't think Sony had body manufacturers in mind when they said they want to support third parties to develop for the E-mount <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Also I think the people who will get Leica M lenses aren't typical GXR users but Leica users. If anyone's got the cash to burn like for M lenses, I doubt they'd bother with Ricoh when there are other alternatives like mFT and now Nex. Ricoh could still get on top of it all if they put a FF sensor in there... now then even I'd get one (as long as they don't price it like the M9) <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
