At least 10k to make it worthwhile to Leica, probably more. That means no-one would buy it. This is the realistic but unfortunate conclusion everybody has come to. Thats why we won't get one. The potential sales volume does not get anywhere near paying for product development. AFAIK no Leica developed R camera has ever made any money for them.
