Hold off on the price expectations... the new S Type 007 ( Bond, James Bond)
came out at $16K.. about $8K less than market expectations.....

MirrorlessRumors.com is reporting that in October, they are expecting Leica
to introduce a variation on their Leica Q, but as a full-frame
interchangeable lens system, that "may" resemble the old SL bodies (but
smaller, I would hope!) It is expected to have a new line of AF lenses, but
should also take the original "R" series, via an adapter. Build quality is
said to be of M & Q class ... typical Leica.

This sounds like the oft rumoured "adequate solution" for R users, if true.
At US$8000 including a 50/Summicron, I'm not sure if I'll be stepping up.
