Hmmmm...

What lensmount would they use?  And, would they make lenses for it?

I'm thinking that if they, like C/V, use the Leica M-mount, and they
then make a few high quality lenses to go along with it, I could put
Pentax lenses on my Leica CL.  Or, I could put my Leica lens on my
Pentax digi-body.

Pentax could sell a crap-load of lenses to Voigtlander Bessa and Leica
afficionados, if they had the right pricing/quality ratio.  Imagine
Limited-quality lenses in M-mount?  It could be interesting.

Didn't they make on or more of the Limiteds in LTM for a time?  Or do
they still?

Nah, they'd never do it.  

Would they?

cheers,
frank
