 From a reliable source:

The Tri-Elmar's widest aperture is f4 as guessed in my previous post. 
Looks slightly fatter than the 28-35-50 Tri-Elmar.

But the more sensational thing seems to be this new finder. Looks 
like the framelines are switchable. The wheel at the top front seems 
to have indexes for 28-24-21-18-16 (that's all variations of the new 
tri-elmar for fullframe and cropped). Can't really read the indexes 
of the wheel behind it. Are these focal lengths or distance marks? 
The index closest to the back seems to be an infinity sign, but I'm 
not shure. I expect the parallax is likely adjusted with the weel at 
the bottom, close to the hotshoe mount? Does the top wheel behind 
eventually offer even more framelines for other focal lengths?
