Only if you have a shorter register and a wider mount, optical possibilities are increased, body plus lens thickness can be decreased and you can make a digital body that can use manual and autofocus lenses equally well. Or you could have a body designed primarily for autofocus use, and you could have a body designed for optical rangefinder use and they could use the same lenses. Aperture control could be on the body, or the lenses for full frame use.
