There may be a work around that uses some clever scientific methodology. We must wait to find out. Nothing says this is not more marketing hype. Remember that the issue of short FL lenses ( and their attendant angle of attack of the light rays) is easily correctable using pre-distortion type thinking. Sort of a compensating filter similar to those used on LF cameras ( Super angulon type filters). Given a processor, known lens types and attendant known drop off characteristics, and enough light, the job really is pretty easy. Is it practical? I don't know. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Leica's official announcement of the planned digital M specifically mentioned that the issue had been solved by the new technology--the only reason they were now confident to go ahead with the project.
