Admittedly there are some features which I would welcome on an upcoming Leica (notably the zooming, long eye-relief finder and high flash-sync speed) but the lack of a *convenient* manual-focus rangefinder, DOF scales on the lenses, 135mm lens, or any super-speed optics tend to narrow its scope of possible applications compared to the Leica.
