Why swap lenses when you can just swap the glass elements?
Seems like a proprietary lens mount.
No way to weather seal. No dust ingress protection.

Amateur photographer here. For those wondering, this is aimed at a very strange segment. It’s cheap so it seems to go for beginners who want to have different prime (non zooming) options but don’t want the expense. It’s also lighter.
The problems:
since when is the lense not the glass part?

Kinda sounds like they have just made their own proprietary lens mount? I’m not a good enough photographer to know if this is a good system or not.
