Every single lens has advantages and this one is no exception. It can be size, weight, price, MFD, AF motor, BQ, VFM etc. My main point about this lens is that it's slow (for a non-macro prime in that FL). I mean, it's double the price of the 50/1.8 and 1.5 stops slower. For me, that makes it [color="#FF00FF"]very[/color] unattractive. However, from the amount of enthusiastic replies I understand I'm in he minority. Oh well, it won't be the first time. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

For example, take a look at [url="http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1125037/3#10748858"]this pic[/url]. What is the amount of reduction in the total weight and size?

The thing that I find very odd is that many people are celebrating this lens as the best thing ever since sliced bread and the very same people were formerly bashing mirrorless pancake lenses a la Panasonic 20/1.7 or Samsung 30/2 as being useless crap.
Must be the illness called "everything is utter nonsense till it's available for my camera".
