The 14 f2.8 L was cheap? .. and no, it was not faster than the zooms at the time...The price. Primes like 14mm f/2.8L, 28mm f/1.8, 35mm f/2, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, 100mm f/2, and 135mm f/2 aren't just faster than zooms that cover those focal lengths, they're also cheaper.
One of the things that bother me is those cheap primes look (to me?) like a dying breed, e.g. due to lack of upgrades.
And no doubt there will be cheaper primes for the RF mount, the 35 f1.8 is proof of that, but what does that have to do with a worlds first insane f1.4 UWA zoom?
