Carsten, I wondered about that too, but Lynn says he wants "a pair" of S2s plus lenses, which could mean the whole lineup of 9 optics.

$30,000 for two bodies - and yes, I expect the full set of lenses could suck up the other $70,000 rather easily at Leica prices - average $7,900 each, compared to $6,295 for the new 21 and 24, (or a $9,999 Noctilux) with autofocus, covering a larger format?

Put another way, 9 R lenses covering about the same range, but without AF and not covering the same image area = $37,000 at B&H today (19, 24, 35, 28PC, 28-90, 50, 100macro, 180, 280)

A "modular" 400 f/4 APO-R goes for about $16,000 for the two parts - I doubt the 350 f/3.5 (with AF) will be much less.

And the 24 and 50 R lenses are 30-year-old designs without ASPHs
