Just saw this today, more samples from the modules. Whoever test this put a lot of non-Leica lens on lol.

I agree, not much M mount lenses there. I do however think that this module is a wet dream for many. GXR and module is much cheaper than a user M8, and for some much more versatile. No need for lens coding and RF coupling, means you can now use both M and a host of other lens systems and mounts with longer register than M (practically all mounts) and be able to manually focus with accuracy. Its still not a rangefinder

I agree that this camera should be selling like hotcakes to those who have a lot of M-mount lenses and wanted digital. But either it's up on a slow start, or it won't be hugely popular ever.
But, what do I know, sometimes people like what they are *told* to like by the pundits or trends instead of trying it out themselves. I'm sure I'm the same way in other areas as well.
