Serious Architectural Photogs would need PC movements to capture the image.

There is/was only 2 Hasselblad cameras that have perspective control
capabilities.....  FlexBody and ArcBody.  Both were discontinued.  Both
behaved just like view cameras.  ( slow and slower).

Well heeled amateurs own Leicas, Hasselblads, Nikons, Canons, Sinar, ARCA,
Wisner, Linhof, Phase One,  etc.   They do not need to earn anything to
justify their purchases.  Well heeled = Well Heeled.

Advertising and architectural photographers also use 
medium format.  I think those are the ones that Leica is going after, 
not well heeled amateurs at all.  Anybody who spends that much for a 
camera has to use it to make money.

My $.02 ;-)
