I have been using the Sony Grand Master lenses lately, they produce images possibly better technically than my Leitz glass. However, it masses in the kilograms. Carefree doesn't describe the experience. So, if Leica can use some computational computing in the background to keep the images "Leica" sharp while keeping the weight down I will gladly plunk down the thousands for an M11. With the 61 megapixels i am currently utilizing I don't necessarily need a zoom for A4 size prints or for a large LCD display. What the high resolution sensors demand is fabulous optics or at least very well massaged processing. It has enabled me to show my vision of how humans stand in the world as opposed to the universe. So, I welcome the research to work on improved images by whatever means.
