Remember this camera was designed as a package so the lens is probably designed specifically with the exact CCD in mind. All of our hopes for a digital M probably will devolve into a 28-90 F2 zoom with a 4/3's sensor. You could probably arrange an electronic focus spot much like the exposure dots in an M7: an arrow on either side of correct to tell you which way to focus. The benefit would be a clear viewfinder with no distracting patches.

If the last element is almost touching the sensor the angle of incidence will be very large unless, I suppose, the periphery of the lens element is not used but then why would it be there?
