The S(007) is out and several people have one, plus the 30-90 is not (quite)
as good as the prime lenses optically.

I notice the Leica S (Type 007) Medium Format DSLR Camera  with 37.5MP 30 x
45mm CMOS Sensor goes for $17,000. But is not out yet. And they don't know
when they're getting it (B&H). But I bet its soon!
When it does come out it will be called the best camera in the world I think
.  By people who review flash drives but also some more in the konw. Better
then medium format Hasselblads and full frame Canon and Nikon DSLR'S and
Leica digital M's. And better then the camera in the iPhone 6 which will be
taking most of the pictures the second half of the decade.
But $17,000 doesn't even get you a lens.
A lens for this camera  to match the new Leicaflex digital SL:
The Leica 30-90mm f/3.5-5.6 Vario-Elmar-S ASPH. Lens $10,340.00 So that adds
up to $27,340 body and lens.
