[Leica] Lenses without digital Bodies, Anyone?

It would be fabulous, Feli - But I have a feeling there's as much
substance to that rumor as there is to allot of the conspiracy theories
that can be found on the Internet. ;-)

great 
solution. They could make backs with everything from APS size to full
frame chips and you simply buy the one that fits your budget or
technical needs.
