Even if that were true, they may have considered having CMOSIS design a larger ship for them for tech camera usage. Nobody knows how the CMOSIS design works with movements, but who knows?

The 6μm pixel pitch chip used on the S-007 has been designed having the use with movements in mind, this has been proved since Sinar offers the Sinar P3 Dslr/Leica S combination as standard product... The thing is that because of the mirrorbox, the system can't work with wider lenses. Resizing the chip (slightly) to 36x48mm and using it on the 86H & eXact backs, would end up to the backs having exactly the same resolution as they now have... Lets not forget that the CCD chips the backs currently have are no longer in production from Teledyne/Dalsa....
OTOH, the Leica SL is the ideal camera to use on a view camera... The mount is 6mm wider that a Sony α7 and the grip is quite distant from the mount, which makes it easy to recess it in the bellows space... Also... there is an SL mount to S lens adapter which provides full interface communication with wide image circle lenses... Therefore, an S lens mount Sinar technical camera with SL used for image area is quite feasible if the same adapter's interface is used on the camera's frames via a flex cable... All the above is to be (naturally) expected from Leica/Sinar...
Actually, it wouldn't surprise me at all if a multishot version of the SL is on the works by Leica as to complete the above picture... Lets not forget that other than the Leica S lenses, the Contax 645 lenses and the Hasselblad H lenses would also be adaptable on the lens board of such a system (via the Leica C & H adapters for the S) and then only the aperture would be required to be operative (no AF, no LS)...
