I think Leica is just taking advantage of lenses on the market now, namely 
Hasselblad lenses, until they can get their own lenses designed and made. 
Pretty smart if you ask me.  It also will certainly attract more potential 
users.

Arrogant or not..... the story of reverse engineering the adapter is
interesting.

I suspect Leica did a thorough analysis of the lenses before they started
down this path....

Leica taking on the Hasselblad - Fuji lenses is one thing, taking on the
Hasselblad - Zeiss lenses is another.....

Pick your battles.......

Don't you just love the arrogance of the Hasselblad 
statement:-)
