It would be interesting to see the reaction to a small, 24-70 f5.6 zoom for 35mm cameras, or a 16-50 f3.8 zoom for aps-c. FWIW, Sony\'s outstanding 16-50 f2.8 is weathersealed and is only $799.
Personally if you gave me a 16-50 f3.8 for E mount I\'d be lining up (an opinion I\'ve stated elsewhere as well, I want the upcoming G zoom for E mount to be a 16-50/4). Love my DT 16-50 but it\'s just too damned big on the NEX-7. I owned Pentax\'s 16-45/4 and rather liked it aside from the handling issues (it\'s fully extended at 16mm and had a somewhat wobbly barrel).
Nikon apparently has a 24-70 variable aperture zoom due for release later this year as a kit lens for the D600 (their rumoured cheap FX body)
