If that’s what you mean by “closed”, then Leica’s M or R systems are closed already. The mix-and-match style of combining a body from one vendor and a digiback from another is a medium-format phenomenon; with the exception of the DMR (and there was never an alternative to the DMR from another vendor), in the world of DSLRs derived from 35 mm systems the sensor has always been an integral part of the camera.
BTW, it’s not true that new lenses cannot be used with H and H2 bodies; it just happens that
one new lens is for the H3D (II) only.
