Sigma DP3 Merrill with 50mm macro lens

According to Mirrorless Rumors, the new Sigma DP3 Merrill has 50mm f.2.8 Macro lens. If the camera has a real macro lens, it might be an ultimate solution for close-up photography for some people. The classic Macro at 50mm. The image quality probably will be equal to Sigma DP2M, which is "breathtaking". 

Update. The camera was announced on January 7. Quote: "The DP3 Merrill has a minimum focusing distance of 22.6cm (8.9”) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3". No miracle here, it is not 1:1 macro lens. It might be useful camera for product shots and some close-up shots but it would not substitute a proper macro lens.
