Ouch. No.
Not An R10.
Fun? Yes.
R10? Dear Lord in Heaven...No!
As a guy who uses R lenses Adapted to another Mount,
I simply don't see there being much usefulness or market
for using R lenses on a camera with a sensor the size of
a Fly's Wing!
Further, how good can the image quality be due to the gyrations
both physical and optical neccesary to get through the phone's
built in lens to achieve the image you will be using.
Besides..
The ergonomics of a smartphone as a camera are weak, imo.
Add the weight of an all metal lens with some heavy duty
real glass in it to the mix and how can the handling be better?
