Makes you wonder what they could do if they redesigned some of the 20+ year old
primes which are still considered fine performers by today's standards...
Obviously this lens must have required some big $$ to design, so why did they
stop at this?
Wouldn't a handful of new lenses which perform this well, combined with a new
OM-5/6 get some real attention? Or is everyone so sold on AF that such a move
is too little too late?
'tis a shame this lens will never be affordable for the average user, even
used.
