I don\'t think it\'s a bargain...but I am seeing that it is not as over priced as I first thought. I still think $1K for an f/1.8 normal is a hard pill to swallow.
My Fuji 35/1.4 was $600 (well $300 for me with my X-E1), and it is extremely sharp stopped down as well, and while not as sharp as the FE 55 wide open, it\'s still very good. $750 for the 55 would be much more reasonable.
How can it not be a bargain, when the real competitor in performance is somewhere half-way between the Leica Summilux asph (3k?) and the Summicron AA (5k?)
As far as I can see it outperforms at least the summilux asph from F2.0 and onwards, by a comfortable margin.
The Summilux 50 asph is looking positively awful, anywhere but the center on the A7R
I suspect it\'s the top sensor layers that are are responsible.
