Happy shooting,

Gosh, this thread really went off the rails. Could we please institute immediate ban for invoking the topic of so called "equivalence"?

Hope this will come back on the rails with some early images shot on a pre-production lens posted on DPR.
Looks like you can download some of the original files as well.

Pricing was announced at $799.

The Slrgear sharpness readings from this wide open is extremely impressive... almost unbelievable.

This is a pretty good price. I thought it was going to be around $1299. It's actually giving me second thoughts of trying to move up to full frame camera from my D7000.

that's an AWESOME price Internal focus/zoom, stupid sharp wide open samples...Wow!!
I've been using the 35 f1.4 A on my D7K quite a bit lately, stunning IQ/AF, would love the flex
this zoom range provides. I'm in...end o' July can't come soon enough.

Wow, really great price and wow what's with the debate about equivalence. There is no equivalent. No other lens manufacturer makes a APS-C zoom lens with a constant f1.8 speed. End of story. Doesn't matter if a 24-70 f.2.8 collects the same amount of light on a FF camera, it doesn't matter. If you DON'T have a FF camera.

The whole equivalence thing drives me nuts. I'm just going to start comparing all full frame lenses to what they would be equivalent to on a medium format sensor, and then claim they really aren't that exciting.

I'm really tempted to get in line for this. The primary weakness just seems to be that it's prone to flares at smaller apertures against bright light.

Lenstip are usually pretty tough, so a cons list like that is doubly impressive.

It's looking pretty good from a sharpness perspective from the numbers.

Ballpark meet ball being hit out of.

If I was a zoom shooter on APS-C... this would already have been preordered.

The alt forum grew mostly around people that were using legacy full frame lenses on their DSLRs and full frame lenses are still prevalent with Zeiss ZE/ZF and M mount lenses besides all the alt lenses that are still being used. It's no wonder to me that comparisons with FF are often made.

The F-stop tells you how much light per square mm the lens will put through. When you multiply that by sensor (or film) area, you get "light gathering ability".

This was by far the most succinct and most intelligent thing said on this thread. APS needs faster lenses in order to allow the same level of light gathering as a FF sensor.

Oh and one more thing. Of course some sensors are equal.
