Could be real, but the 12mm f2.8 with a 52mm filter diameter seems a huge stretch. I expect mFT WA's to be smaller, but still. And I expect Panasonic to lead. An Oly camera lens combo at Photokina would surprise. Remember, Ian visited Pany primarily.
There seems to be some romantic attachement to the 1923 look of the original Leica. As one who has used auxillary viewfinders for more years than I care to count, I can say that the romance quickly wears off. These finders are seldome accurate since the FOV of a lens varies with focus distance. They are estimates at best. Unless someone makes a wired one, they will not tell you when focus is locked or any of the shooting parameters.
I can't see MFT making a Sigma DP-1 clone or going retro to 1923.
