They want a piece of a 100K/year  already entrenched market.....
Interesting.....  

My V system ( 500CM type of camera) can be loaded up with a Digital back and
use my current glass....   I do concur that my V system is only manual
focus, but then again, it is meant to be used in a studio where  AF may be
more of a nuisance than a benefit.  And it already exists.  Tough market
competitor.

Don't/didn't  remember reading the first part of this...... 
"There will be no digital SLR camera by Leica and no R10. But there will be
and we are working on this, a suitable solution to allow the use of R lenses
digitally....   Nothing to do with the S2. Not before next Photokina".

I am curious.... if there is another solution to use R lenses digitally, but
not an SLR, then what?  An M10 that takes R lenses?  A digital View Camera?
Digi-TLR?  A bit more fodder to think about...... 

I think we are all getting bambazooled.  Seems like obfuscation..... The
words make no sense, and in my opinion, neither does the direction they seem
to tell us they are moving towards.  

But that should be pretty obvious from my postings.......

I still want my M9 and Digi-SLR that uses R lenses, even if they do not call
it an R10......
