Apparently it is starting to ship..

 

BUT..

 

"The Leica R-Adapter L cannot read the selected aperture set on the lens.
Instead, the camera uses the same technology to estimate the aperture as
with M-lenses mounted via an adapter."

 

There is still no info that I can find that says the lens aperture is open
during focusing, then closed down during image creation... And the inability
to read the lens' aperture setting is disturbing...For $750, you would
expect more...
