Seems a stretch;
though I have no clue "why" Leica bought Sinar.

My fantasy digital "view camera:"
1) a large sensor
2) MF CCD quality though probably Cmos
3) Live View to a 5x7, 6x9 or 8x10 to HiRes Retina Display
4) Full movements
5) Sufficient micro lenses to allow radical tilt, shift, swing, etc. with 
wide lenses
