We don't have many studio photographers on this list.  Leica is not 
normally thought of as a studio camera.  All of the studio 
photographers I know use medium format digital cameras - usually 
Hasselblads.  Advertising and architectural photographers also use 
medium format.  I think those are the ones that Leica is going after, 
not well heeled amateurs at all.  Anybody who spends that much for a 
camera has to use it to make money.

My $.02 ;-)
