Subject: [Leica] 24x36mm sensor for the RFDM

Rangefinder WA lenses are made to a design that is unsuited to   
digital sensors. Even if the Canon sensor was used it would give   
disappointing results with these lenses. 
 
Lenses designed for reflex  cameras are considerably more suited to  digital 
sensors - sadly. --Frank

Hi Frank,
 
I assume the problems Canon solved in the reflex design were akin to those  
in a Leica RFDM. It's just a question of when the 35mm RF sensor will be 
adapted  and will arrive at Solms and how much Canon will charge for them. I 
hope 
Leica  will retain the mechanical front end of the M. So we're off to the 
main 
event in  digital.
 
Bob
