Leica already made a square sensor digital camera albeit a scanning camera .. in fact they made three of them ... S1 Pro, S1 Alpha and S1 High Speed ... each uses 36mm square sensors .. each is usable with both R and M lenses and adaptors were available for Nikon and Hasselblad lenses ... including shift adaptors for perspective control ... The S1 High Speed is a 16 megapixel camera which was current until 2002 and apparently gives superb still life results ( each scan takes 18 seconds) ... There is an S1 for sale at MW Classic ... Many are in use with museums and art galleries.
