I wish someone would make a reasonably integrated add-on with a 1" sensor.

I dunno. I think had I been having lunch with Mr. Oosting when this adapter was being considered I would have remarked "It's neither fish nor fowl, and will likely struggle to find a market."
Smartphone cameras are already more than good enough for snapshots and for recording the daily lives of their owners - the usage to which they're typically brought to bear. And they have the overarching benefit in that they are always there.
Serious photographers, on the other hand, usually want a serious camera. I can't imagine many being attracted to what amounts to a Frankensteinian point-and-shoot.
Leica's collaboration on the Huawei P9 was a similar misadventure, I suspect.
I could be wrong...

I believe this discussion has no place in the MF & LF forum... Maybe it should be moved?

Isn't a Lenovo design with a Hassy logo?
But yes, this should be in the compact camera section.
Cheers,

We also have "iPhone and Mobile Photography" section. That is where I already posted the news:

There is actually a market that needs something like this and the Sony QX1 thing - anyone doing social media posts for a live event that you'd want a zoom lens. Trying to live post with a camera, cards and basic editing on a phone just doesn't cut it. Getting it down to a camera attachment that lets you use a few on-phone apps, and a quick post to Facebook/Twitter/Vine/Snapchat/etc is what those folks are looking for.

Hi,
Smartphones don't have decent quality zooms…
Best regards

The display and computer part of a high end mobile phone is way better than that of most compacts. Posting is now what many do with their images. That is why Frankenstein is an interesting idea.
I wonder how many here make as much money from their photo skills as the various Kardashians?

What all this has to do with MF & LF or view/tech camera photography?
