I think the costs are high because they need to borrow the test equipment from Sigma 
Nikon is blablahing something about tight and strict tolerances. Cheerfully looking forward to Sigma's new version if they ever redesign theirs.
Brightcolours, bokeh might be nice and is nice on 85/1.4G too, but the latter ones comes at the cost of massive CA an reduces the price to quality rate quite a bit. So, for the sake of all 50mm lovers, let's hope this one does a better job. Doing landscapes at open aperture is nothing to be afraid of with the 35 Sigma, too. But then using a grey filter to get decent exposure times?
@klaus: I hope no one tells Sigma what they could ask for.
