Is a Q2 Monochrom too much to hope for?

While we suffer an interminable wait for the (alleged soon to be) M10 Monochrom, I have to ask:  Why not a Q2 Monochrom??

Think of the possibilities that a full frame, 47 MP, ISO 50,000 Monochrom with a 28mm f/1.7 lens and a silent leaf shutter would have to offer! 

To the gents in Wetzlar, I have to ask:  Are you listening?  To everyone else, I ask:  What are your thoughts on a Q2 Monochrom?

That would be a great camera indeed...

The Q2 produces beautiful monochrome conversions. Not sure what a Monochrom Q2 would do for me.

That’s a really good question and one I’d love to hear some insights on. I can imagine a dedicated monochron would have subtle Micro-details perhaps not present on a converted Q/Q2 image. Perhaps more dynamic range. Certainly someday when the new monochron comes out hopefully someone will do an A vs B test to determine the differences. Fun to imagine.
