Yes, quite clever..... APS-C lens = Full size VF image and APS-C capture.
Automatically.

Frank,

I don't bet - I read;-)

 From the Leica website:

/*"As the capture format of the sensor can be changed electronically, even
lenses that do not cover the entire image circle generate a full-size
viewfinder image."*/

 From the Leica SL manual:

This also applies to the lenses for the Leica T APS -C format camera system.
This portfolio offers you three prime lenses and three zooms covering an
extreme range of focal lengths ranging from 17 to 200 mm. You also benefit
from their light weight and compact construction. This ensures you are
ideally prepared for any photographic situation - and there's no need for an
adapter. */Perfect compatibility: even though the sensor is not completely
covered by these lenses, the EyeRes viewfinder fills the frame with the
picture they deliver and the camera automatically switches to APS-C format.
This format is also saved to the image files to avoid the need for an
additional cropping step later on. /*

Cheers
Douglas
