I am not certain yet about this. But it seems like:
1) Olympus is not joining the Panasonic FF system
2) Leica may have a connection to it.
I previously had heard that Panasonic might NOT use the Leica SL mount…but now I am not certain about this anymore as I have been told “there is a connection”.
