I did see the prototype when I was in Tokyo in September and it is 'very cute." It uses the same circuit as the Bessa-L camera and has the acceptance angle of the 90mm lens (same as the MR meter). I have no idea what the cost will be, probably around US$ 175-200. Mine is a black one and it will go on my black 3F RD. It is about 1/2 size from the MR-Meter. Mr Kobayashi also showed me the twin bracket for the meter and finder and we played with several of these and in the end it looked like a Lego set for Leicas! You could conceivably put a finder, a meter and a rangefinder on one of these. Tom A
