Of course Leica owns sensor design - but only the design and the are relying on another company to build their sensor, but Sony owns the complete process from design to manufacturing and this is definitely an advantage.Hi Peter
But Leica do own the sensor design. that was the whole point. of course, you're right about the AF. but it's going to be a long time before Sony (or anyone else) are going to have a convincing enough range of FF AF lenses for a mirror less system.
I do not see the lens lineup to be such an issue - Zeiss and Sony have the know how and if they put enough money in this project it will not be that hard to see some 4-5 primes and 2 zooms for a future interchangeable lens RX.
But what they never will be able to do is to convince the real hard core Leica fans, or people like me which have already a complete Leica M lens lineup, but I think we are in the minority.
