I didn't refer to them as "old", I just don't think you're as fast and precise in manual focussing as even a slow CDAF is these days? But let's wait and see what testers have to tell about. For sure I don't expect the fastest AF in mirrorless or better than the best DSLR - I'd be happy with fast enough, as long as it's as precise as possible.

 

Sigma makes some artistic maths with the max resolution and counts everything looking like a pixel. Then it's in JPG 3:2 8,768×5,840 = 51.205 MP. Whatever. I got some pictures printed on A2 and I can't tell the difference between the Sigma Merrill and the D810 in terms of resolution, although there is a spec gap. I just don't see it's effect.

 

In aspects of design I totally agree, I also find it charming. It looks also quite well thought. The little detail of diopter setting on top of the body and also the place of the EVF - I know some "left-eye" photographer which might like it.

 

Now I can enjoy the very looooong waiting period. In the spec list there's no weight ("TBD") for the H-version, so I guess, this will come later.

 

50-100/1.8 big enough circle? It's not announced or specified. Yet. But it would be quite odd, if one could not make a use of it? That one and the 18-35/1.8 (which is quite bigger than APS-C) could make a decent pack.

Of course MF is slow. That is why I only use them... when it is appropriate. 

I also use fast AF on my 6D, and CD AF on the EOS M.
