Lots of people, myself included, will probably buy this to use their Leica lenses unless the quality is truly poor. I expect that a full frame sensor with resolution to match top quality transparency film when used with rangefinder type lenses is still as far away technically as ever (if it is being researched at all). A custom designed microlens filter would, of course only match a single lens.
