[Leica] Digital M mount camera speculation

[rangefinder at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

Hoppy

The retrofocal design of the ZM lenses has always been a clear and loud hint 
for a rather likely Zeiss Ikon D-rangefinder. I go even  further and 
pretend, Zeiss would not have created the ZM lens line for film, only.

I believe they will wait until it can be done with an appropriate fullframe 
sensor. Count Cosina and Mister Kobayashi-San to be on the ship, too, once 
this operation takes off.
