I have posted the info that I heard personally from Stefan Daniel here several times. The direct first sentence seems very clear to me. The detail is missing from the second as to just what the suitable solution will be. He did explicitly say it would not be ready before Photokina 2010. Leica doesn't see it the way you do on the S2 or the pro market. In any event you are welcome to see it all how you wish, naturally. No intention to have a debate with you or anyone else. 2009/7/31 Frank Filippone <red735i at earthlink.net> > 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....
