Why not just buy a Canon 1DX Mk II in that case, for around the same price, 
and eschew the one solitary lens that Leica has, in its wisdom, made 
available? I know it does not have a red dot, but it is matched perfectly to 
those Canon lenses, and besides, it really is a state of the art digital 
camera body! :-)
Cheers
