No, I didn't end up going back to Kyoto to pick it up. I played with 
it pretty extensively in the store. The build quality is 
Summicron-level, right down to the pull-out lens shade (like the 
current cron 50/2).  The finder is very nice although  I was 
disappointed that it was mostly plastic rather than metal, but the 
view through it was very bright and clear.
