Very interested to note that this will have a 5-element lens. I was expecting the generic f2.8 Tessar design that afflicted many small film cameras. These were "acceptable" at f8-f11 and disappointing wider open. (Not so in f3.5 form with 6x6 and larger, e.g., Rolleicord, where f8-f11 will yield quite good results, or on LF, where some of the best were Tessars.) I'll be eager to see the results.
