Sadly, unless there is a huge breakthrough I'm thinking we have seen the end of Foveon. What do you think?

They've had breakthroughs before, like the jump from SD15 to SD1, but for their first full frame Foveon they don't even need that. The L-mount completely changes the value of a Foveon sensor since you don't have to invest in lenses for a single camera but rather invest in the system with the most diverse offer of camera bodies and sensors.

I have an fp, but would definitely buy a Foveon L-mount camera since it would offer a very distinct rendering even against a Sigma Bayer. I'm sure a number of Leica and Panasonic customers would be tempted by the same.
