One aspect to add, is that anyone who considers making a digital RF will have the impossible task of measuring up to Leica manufacturing quality. If you consider the film RF, neither the Bessa nor the Ikon can even touch the quality of Leica M. Granted, the Ikon may have a larger brighter VF, but feels fragile and on the brink of breaking at any time. The RF goes out of alignment at the slightest bump, and funnily goes back into good alignment with another bump, or get worse Not to mention falling knobs and creaking sounds.
In my opinion, a digital Ikon, if built like a Leica, will have to be priced similarly. And that would be pointless.
