What a cluttered mess this would be.

If Leica Solms wants to jump into the digital sea with an M, then let its
frames show the standard film lenses with the APS sensor subframes and
guarantee
to buyers that Leica will update the sensor frame to full 35mm at nominal
cost
when it becomes available. So the digital M would have modular
construction.

>From personal experience with the fast D70 and standard Nikkor film
lenses, I
found that the APS sized sensor can produce professional quality images.
The
present full 35mm frame 13MP sensor used in the Kodak 14n leaves a lot to
be
desired from reports I've read. The Kodak 14n is rather ponderous.
