Assuming his assumptions are correct, I think the bottom line will be the cost. I would be willing to fork out the $500+ as some have mentioned on this site, and the lens would have to follow whichever direction my camera goes. On the other hand, I might have trouble spending $1500+, like their other AF-S lenses, for a lens that I might not be able to use indefinitely.
I know that is only one man's opinion, but it certainly gives some perspective. That's what I like about this site. Keep digging guys.
"I definitely wouldn't mind seeing one of the 12-24 lenses with a Canon mount.... "
I agree to a point, I would love a 12mm lens assuming it's much less than the 16-35mm L($1400.00) Since it will not work on a ffS it had better be cheap.
assuming it's much less than the 16-35mm L($1400.00)
Good point, MUCH less would be nice...
I'll wager that this lens is less than $500 retail.
I think this lens is aimed at the D100 crowd - some pros but mostly enthusiastic amateurs.
Remember, wer're talking about an F4 lens here - most probably a lightweight plastic body G series lens.
If anyone wants to take me up on the bet, I'll wager a 6-pack of Tecate...
