Aagh. I give up. A camera model announced by Dr Kaufmann and Ms Harbets is
hardly 'pie in the sky'. Certainly the design is not fixed yet, according to
comments by those Leica folks.

Maike Harbets speaks on the S2. .... So we will drop down this technology to
our other systems.
Our priority is to modernise the R system which will be in the end an R10,
definitely.

as the R10 doesn't exist yet, it is pie in the sky... we might as well
wait...
