Looks a bit old school.

I'm hoping for a Fuji-X version of it. Fingers crossed.

The "weird" thing: They show it on a Sigma camera, so a camera with an FF sensor. L-mount does not make much sense for this lens, only a Leica option?

On the Sgima FP camera it probably works in crop mode, which is fine but at the cost of resolution.

On the Sgima FP  camera it probably works in crop mode, which is fine but at the cost of resolution.

To me that makes no sense, choosing FF but then switching to APS-C (and buy a lens specifically for that).

A reason why they might have shown it mounted on a Sigma fp is that this body is very small, emphasizing the compactness of the system.

Also, let's not forget this lens can be used on the Leica CL, which is APS-C.

That is what I said, "only a Leica option" ;-) But I can't really imagine someone getting a Leica CL for €2500 and not getting a TL 18-56mm f3.5-5.6 with it....

Makes more sense on Sony APS-C (and Nikon and Fuji and Canon APS-C).

Indeed: it would be a excellent quasi-replacement for the SEL1670Z (one stop brighter, I bet it's better in quality, cheaper, too bad only for the gap left in the 50-70mm range).
