No doubt there will be a version with a Red Dot on it announced in
September.
The external finder looks exactly like the Voigtlander metal 28mm finder.
But it can't possibly zoom. Maybe it is fixed at the 24mm equivalent (or has
two frame-lines?).
Interesting if has a 24 frame for M8 owners with an 18 in their bag!
Let's wait to hear from Mark on the massive 1/1.63 inch size 10MP sensor
touted as larger than usual and giving superb quality ;-) 

Cheers
Geoff

It looks like it will have some sort of optional viewfinder.
