It is definitely retro, and an optical viewfinder addresses the lack of same 
for the Sigma DP2s. With a sensor larger than the m43, it occupies a niche 
without a lot of competition. 

I'm glad that medium format still has a pulse. And wide angle medium format 
for less than a bazillion dollars (Rollei TLR) is good.
