I guess the APS size will provide a cheap alternative, and if it can do the job of current 35mm, all the better. The Medium Format digital backs, such as this offering by Fuji http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/Products.jsp?nav=1&parent=PRODUCT_CATEGORY_476108&product=43026002 are still a long way off. So I guess there is plenty of time to sell lenses specifically for the APS size sensor.
