[Leica] One way to justify a M10R

[Philippe]

Keep to my questions Mark please ;-)

Is a FF M digital a cropped medium format sensor?

Or alternately, is a medium format sensor an enlargment of a full frame?

Should the answer to either question be yes, then I might agree that an APS-C is cropped. 

Else, and since we use lenses that match the formats, they are all full frame, and lose nothing on the edges.
