Looks good and price seems right. This might be the right priced, compact, quality, wide angle we were waiting for... or not! Wait and see...

Cheers!

did A7 actually create a market for new cheap FF lenses?

looks very promising!
it's speed and weight falls right in between the Voigtlaender f4/21 and f1.8/21mm lenses that cost 400+ and 1100+ It's size looks more like of the f1.8.
Crucial will be if it does better on FF! On APS-C I 'd be very surprised if it could rival the CV f4 which is fantastic ( at least on Ricoh GXR M ) and doesn't cost all that much dearer

It looks bigger than I would like for an UWA travel lens.
