[Leica] One way to justify a M10R

[John McMaster]

That is a curious question, the Sony A7Riv, Fuji GFX100 and Phase One IQ4150 all have 'the same' sensor in varying sizes.  One thing that you can get with larger than FF is 16bit colour....

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.
