I assume the problems Canon solved in the reflex design were akin to those  
in a Leica RFDM. It's just a question of when the 35mm RF sensor will be 
adapted  and will arrive at Solms and how much Canon will charge for them. I 
hope 
Leica  will retain the mechanical front end of the M. So we're off to the 
main 
event in  digital.

Bob,

You forget, that Kodak also has a full frame sensor, and they supply the 
sensor for the DMR and from what I remember the one going into the DM.  If 
it was 
possible, then Leica could use their sensor.  It is not the same animal due 
to 
the lens designs and other problems, identified by Leica, Zeiss and others.
