I was hoping that this would be a great travel lens like my 35/1.8 Nikkor was on my D800, but alas this looks a little to bulky for my tastes. Hopefully it's great optically and has some nice sun stars when stopped down.
I mean, it's not large. It's very slightly larger than the 55/1.8 (2.5mm longer and 1mm wider...which is nothing) and only weighs 280g.
Looks like a solid effort to me. I do hope it has at least a couple of ED/APD elements so that CA is fairly well controlled. If it does it should be a very nice lens. To me the slightly larger than expected front element and the 9 blade aperture suggests that the lens might have more than decent bokeh. We'll see of course. I would gladly trade a couple hundred dollars in price for nicer bokeh.
There are no APD elements, only one aspheric out of a total of 11 elements in 9 groups.
