I think this is going to cause quite a stir in the video/cinema world.

It's an adapter that lets you mount Canon EF lenses (which are made for a "full-frame" sensor, or 35mm still film) onto the Sony NEX cameras (which are mirrorless and have an APS-C or s35 size sensor)... but with almost no crop factor, while also increasing the speed of the lens.
So, in the past, if you mounted, say, an old manual 50mm f1.4 lens on your NEX camera, the field of view would look like a 75mm lens would on a full-frame camera. Now, with this thing, your FOV would still look like it would on full-frame, AND all your apertures would be effectively one stop brighter (so your max aperture would now be a f1.0)!
It says other lens and camera mounts are in the works... I really hope they do m4/3 next.
