Quote:*sigh*I feel for you; the backlog is already huge as it is.
Looks like I accidentally predicted the correct price of the 85/1.4... In any case, between the price and the size, the Tamron 85/1.8 look more enticing by the hour. Although I have no doubts that this lens is going to be great, most likely cutting the Otus down to size.
Speaking of the 12-24... they're probably going to leave the current one in the lineup as well (kinda like what they did with the 50/1.4), because the price has gone up quite a bit - understandably, as this is a straight f/4 lens instead of f/4.5-5.6, and larger/more complex to boot). I wonder if they're going to release a new variable aperture UUWA zoom to latch into the price slot below. I believe there had been a rumour of an 11-22/4.5-5.6 lens to replace the current model - though at the time, nobody quite expected the Spanish Inquisition...
