The Target Market IS Luggers....
The alternative is the same as it was when Leica was NOT going to make a
Digi-M.......
Of course, and back to an old discussion, Leica makes money on Glass, not so
significantly on bodies...... Have Sony customize the A7r to M mount....
Take out all the AF stuff, and Bob's your Uncle......
Not as easy as I said, but you get the point.....
Who is the company that converts Sigma camera bodiess to other camera
mounts?????

Given the amortization of design, tooling and development cost over a
relatively tiny production volume and shortage of other product turnover to
finance it it could never be made anything like as cheaply as the Sony
though.
Would anybody buy an expensive M-mount EVF camera (other than we LUGgers)?
