The real shocker is the price tag .. €1,499

Oh it's not that expensive, mind you they mention this in the list of features:

• Serial number assigned to each lens (from 0000001 for the black model; from 1000001 for the silver model
  

Awesome. It well deserves its 1500 euros price tag.

Also, at 9cm long for a f2.4 prime, it's surely a very compact lens.

Sorry, couldn't help it ;-)
