Andrew Reid wrote that Sony E-mount would be perfect for BMCC and I think he has absolutely right.
E-mount is great for "other system" adapters, and AFAIK is made by Sony as open standard with access to full technical documentation for third-party companies.
Making active E-mount should not be a problem for such innovative company as Blackmagic.

I am not sure if BMCC could use a E mount with this small sensor. Is it possible?. Andrew said "However a Blackmagic Cinema Camera Mark II with E-mount and Super 35mm sensor would be even more desirable."
Of course, it could be fantastic, but then the price would rise to the range of a scarlet, don't you think so?.

Yes, but I talk only about mount not about sensor size (of course s35 sensor would be better :) ). Why?
1. E-mount is better then MTF for adapters.
2. If its true that Sony made it open for third-party companies there should be easy way to implement it as active mount.
