[Macadameane]

I think this lens is brilliant, any rumors on it's pricepoint? Guesses?

Thanks, I'm not sure why I couldn't find that.

I'd have a hard time giving up my 15mm FE with f/2.8 for a F/4 at 3X the price. Its pretty sharp wide open, and a FE comes in handy in low light. I used mine for fireworks last July, the wide aperture wasn't necessary, but the wide FOV helped, since I was quite close. Even so, it will be a interesting and popular lens.
