I am mildly interested in seeing how this develops. If the price is low enough when introduced, I might try it out. Have virtually no experience with rangefinders, but I do have 3-4 M-mount Leica lenses from my late father-in-law. I have tried pairing them with the Q-S1 but with a 5x “crop factor” it is hard to find a good niche for the lenses when used with that system.
