i am happy to stand corrected.  it looks very cool.  slightly-faster-
than-average lens (f2.4) with much-faster than average ASA (1600) makes
for an interesting package.  the external ($200!!) optical viewfinder 
makes it idiosyncratic (in a good way).

P.S.
the clincher is the add-on .75x lens.  i love those things.  i have one 
for my rolleiflex.  even our family low-budget kodak has a supplemental 
wide-angle lens which, if not optically stellar, is fun to use:
