My prediction: It doesn't have to work well, it's just like the *ist D, IOW the 
only option. It will sell very well even if it has problems with some of the 
ultra wides (you'll note that there are a number of lenses listed as 
incompatible, only one current lens is listed and it's not a wide angle).

People will buy the Leica when/if it ever comes out but more people (including 
die-hard Leicaphiles) will buy the Epson/Cosina regardless.
