Personally, I believe ZI has such plans in their pipeline (the retrofocal design of the ZM lenses seems to be a hint for it) but I guess they won't step into that niche before they have a full frame sensor. And then it might get quite difficult for Leica to top it. I have the impression ZI has the smarter management staff than Leica (which still suffers under the "Not-invented-here-syndrome"), and has become their toughest rival again, like in the pre- and postwar era.
