The upcoming full frame NEX-9 is rumored to accept full frame Sony Alpha lenses; however, it is supposed to do so without the use of the LA-EA3 NEX-to-Alpha converter like the Sony VG900 camcorder uses.

Sony NEX-VG900 Full Frame Camcorder and NEX-VG30 APS-C Camcorder Announced
Sony NEX-VG30
Sony has announced the NEX-VG900 and NEX-VG30 interchangeable lens camcorders. The NEX-VG900 is the first full frame camcorder to hit the market.
The NEX-VG30 is an APS-C format camcorder that comes available with an 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 power zoom lens.
Sony NEX-VG900
Both the VG900 and VG30 capture 1080p at 24p and 60p frame rates using the AVCHD 2.0 codec. The VG900 is compatible with both E-mount and Alpha mount lenses courtesy of the included LA-EA3 adapter. When using E-mount lenses, the VG900 operates as an APS-C crop camcorder without any loss of resolution.
The NEX-VG900 has a new Multi Interface Shoe that works with a new XLR adapter kit, which allows you to connect higher-end shotgun mics.
The Sony NEX-VG900 will be available in November for $3300. Check availability here at B&H Photo.

Sony VG900 Full Frame Camcorder Image Leak
The Sony NEX-VG900 is expected to be announced tomorrow as a full frame camcorder with the NEX E-mount. The VG900 is rumored to include a 24MP full frame sensor and capture 1080×1920 video recording at 24p/60p courtesy of the AVCHD 2.0 codec.
While an A-mount adapter is rumored to be included with the VG900, I’m curious as to which lenses will be available with this camera given the increase in sensor size over the current NEX-VG20.
Additional rumored specs include a 3? LCD, XGA OLED EVF and price tag of $3,300.
