All that ultimately would depend on how hard Sony wants to push the lens design get things to work.
And naturally the cost question comes up.
Sony NEX full frame?

yeah true and agree with you.... it will be crazy engineering and new technology and cost cutting to keep the price down.
I've read somewhere that there's a flat thin glass (could be non-glass material but engineered glass/lens) that could perform as curved lens/glass soon we will have a flat lens glass and with no distortion...
Also consider the cost/benefit analysis - Sony would need to design yet ANOTHER line of lenses with a new flange distance and the required adapter, another line of NEX bodies, for a niche market...
If they DO release a NEX body with FF, they may just bundle the EA-2 adapter. So you use Alpha DSLR FF lenses if you want FF, and if you mount an e-mount lens you get APS-C crop.

Bro as mentioned by bro NazulKing no need to change the flange distance for the new FF NEX lens just that Sony needs to figure out how to illuminate the FF sensor with that smallish flange distance (18mm) one possible way is to have a bigger or more curved rear/back elements to be able to illuminate the bigger sensor. this is similar to the current a-Mount lenses DT and non DT lenses.
Point is, they would need to invest the money in the design and manufacture of yet another line of lenses for a niche product. The $$$ doesn't add up, especially since most would just mount legacy lenses.

true unless thier NEX system would gain more grounds in the mirrorless system....

The new 55mm/1.4 Carl Zeiss lens is a Distagon so it is possible to do a retrofocal design for normal focal lengths.
The only issue is Sony's rate of release for new lenses is so pathetically slow having FF as well will simply complicate things.

M mount is for Leica. No relevance to this thread, please post in the "Others" equipment section.
I stayed on with this thread coz *I think* it was moved from the RF to Sony sub-forum earlier! haha... ok, i'll not talk about the blue dot here but M mount is not just Leica per se, its for rangefinder... anyway, that's just interesting news to me even from my perspective as a manual lens on Nex7 user

Dislike... :thumbsd::thumbsd::thumbsd:
I got one question here to share, what do you think Sony point of view of Full Frame with E-Mount Sensor? Like most of us in CS will know that the element of the E-Mount lens is not suitable for FF (result might come out like like crop out picture), if Sony make a big adapter like LA-EA2, it will look funny on the NEX FF just to mount the E-Mount lenses.. =/
