Not sure what I should make from this. Leaf shutter is a neat feature, I agree, I quite like them. But the lenses are not terribly fast actually and, as was pointed out already, the diagonal of the sensor is not that much bigger than a so-called full frame.
While I can see a point in the 45/3.5 (36/2.8 equivalent) lens, I struggle a bit with the 90/4.5 (72/3.6 equivalent). The focal length of this is a bit in no-mans-land. It's to narrow for a standard and to wide for a portrait lens. A f/3.6 equivalent aperture doesn't give you as much separation as I would hope for in a "medium format". Regarding separation this gets you into the territory of an µFT with a 1.4 or 1.8 lens. Not bad but not spectacular either.
Folding in the costs, I do not really see that flying very well. E.g. Nikon 85/1.4 (B&H) goes for about half the price announced for the 90/4.5.
