Another macro choice for NEX systems, Canon 60 & 100mm macros.

Phil a better choice than waiting for the Zeiss 50mm macro? Canon 60mm EFS great?
 
It appears the main collar holds the manual focus mechanism and one just needs to swap out the front port to change from 60 to 100mm? is this correct and will this system be available soon?

Nice to see we have some real length choice in macro. Both the Sony and Zeiss macros were too short in my opinion. The extra 10mm and 50mm makes quite a difference.

What are we looking at here in terms of cost of the port(s)?

Okay, just found this: Zen FP-MBC100 for Metabones Adapters and Canon 100mm Macro Lenses on NEX [zen.fb.mbc100] - $899.00 : Reef Photo & Video!, The Underwater Photo Pros

Also, besides working with the standard MB adapter, it can also used with their Speed Booster, which shortens the 100 to a 70mm which is a nice size between the 2.
