Sounds like the idea is that the Modular lens system
Leica has now for 280 2.8 and larger lenses, could
potentially be sold for N, C, Sony, Pentax, etc.  by
selling the focusing modules made for each respective
camera system, Like a very sophisticated adapatall
mount.  Could they be putting the patent in his name
in the hope that people like David would not make the
connection and start rumors????
