I'm curious about what exactly they mean by 'wide angle zoom'. The size
looks like its bigger than the 'normal' zoom, so maybe it is a fast and
relatively long-range lens... I'm hoping for something along the lines of
6mm-24mm (i.e. 12mm - 48mm in 35-equivalent angle). Then make it f2.0-2.8 or
something, and price it about what the N*kon or C*non 14-15mm lenses cost...
