I just can't see the point. If you're shooting slides they won't fit a standard slide mount. Undoubtedly from time to time you lab will chop them up against your orders and ruin them. The panoramas aren't big enough that you will ooh and arrrh about them on a light table. Standard labs won't be able to print them from negatives. There's only 2 lenses, and they are really slow at f4. Even the marketing is daggy, describing it as a "bridge camera". If I wanted an f4 rangefinder I would get a Mamiya 7. If I wanted a nice 35mm rangefinder I would get a Leica. I can't even see a small niche for this oddity.
