If they bite the bullet and make lenses for cropped sensors they will relcaim the small camera/high performance position they held in the thirties and beyond. However, thousands of Leicanistas will shriek in rage at being betrayed. So, in all probablity no F1.4 26mm lens or for that matter no 21mm f2 lens. On the bright side, the ability to shoot at 800 to 1600 ameliorates the need for fast lenses as far as capturing the image but we still have issues with limiting DOF intentionally. On the down side, I am going to have to bite the bullet and acquire a 35 F1.4 as the 50mm perspective is the one I use most. Possibly the C/V 40mm F1.4 with the crop the edges won't matter.
