Is the "secret sauce" the FF sensor with the micro-lenses? 

I think so.  That's going to be Leica's hammerlock on the "high 
performance sensor solution for a digital full frame camera with short 
flange-focal length lenses".  I wonder if that is how the patent reads.

If so, it's going to be hard for Zeiss / Cosina to come up with an 
alternative recipe.
