Noticed a few new pieces that I don't recall from the initial
announcement. A BG-2 type flash handle and a 25mm extension tube and a
wow! A 6x8 grid focusing screen which it the first indication of
interchangeable screens. I hadn't seen this even as of yesterday but it's
there today.
Hmmmmm, yes. The 11-22mm zoom lens (22mm to 33mm in 35mm format
equivalent) looks quite tasty, actually. And it looks like they're doing
everything they can to answer people's questions ahead of official retail
availability -- they're even puiblishing MTF charts for all the announced
lenses so far. A lot of work is getting done on this site in a big
hurry. Hope it pays off for 'em.
I'm still waiting for "street-level" pricing on the whole
shebang. (Wouldn't mind actually being able to grope one, either...)
