E-P1/E-P2 with a dash of Hasselblad

I just came across some interesting bit of news from DCwatch via 4/3 Rumors. There’s an accessory for your E-P1/E-P2 and perhaps E-PL1 as well (I can’t read Japanese, so don’t take my word for it!) that will give it more than a passing resemblance to a Hasselblad. See for youself:

It does present a certain use scenario too. One problem E-P1/E-P2 users face is that they can’t use any flash in conjunction with the (amazing) VF-2 viewfinder. So what do you do if you’re outdoors on a bright sunny day, your LCD is nigh useless, and you need a little bit of fill-in flash to light up your subjects? That’s where I suspect these will come in handy.

More pictures are available at the DCwatch article. It’s in Japanese, mind you, but it’s well worth a look. And if anyone can point out as to where all of us can get our hands on one and for how much, we’d greatly appreciate it.
