A new release and apparently a world first.
No other zoom out there with such a fast constant aperture. I'd be interested in people's experiences with this lens.

I'm looking forward to seeing some sample. The price is way out of my range at $800, but I'm still very curios about what it is like. As for their claim of it being a world first, I have since discovered that Tamron have constant zooms that are even faster!

Have they? I doubt that. At least not for APS.

I can't find the link now but I did read about Tamron zooms with constant aperture of f1.1.
