Its wide, its fast, and has VC. I'm not sure how useful the VC is at this focal length, but depending on the price, it would certainly be an interesting competitor to both the 14-24 and the 16-35. The initial specs say its quite heavy though at 1.1kg (~2.4 lbs).

Thoughts?

Vc is always useful. Don't know why people assume wide angle doesn't benefit from it.

Yea, VC is always useful, just not as obviously useful as in long lenses where a little shake is painfully obvious. Personally I dont find myself shooting under 1/30 too often, hence VC isnt incredibly useful.

Non-creative thinking . . .

Many times I could have used VR on my 17-35/2.8AFS, though the lack of VR wouldn't keep me from buying such a lens.

looks like a really nice lens, I even like my old 17-35 tamron but it was only $200. but I have a feeling it will be pretty expensive

Looks like a great lens. 15mm is odd (I'd much prefer 14mm), but the build quality seems superb and VC is a fantastic touch. Could be a neat walk-around lens.
