Three large lenses. Yawn.
Depends how you look at it - one could say the two ultrafast lenses are small for what they deliver.
The 135 fascinates me, and a younger me would buy it. Older me wants the 35 - I'll start saving my pennies
I'm sure there will be a sizable market for each of these lenses. But they don't interest me. I'm sure the 2 primes will have beautiful rendering, which I prize. But I would not wish to carry them for travel or in documentary settings or to put them into people's faces in non-studio or posed situations. And the zoom, I think, goes to f5.6 by 50mm, so it would be unusable for shooting in any type of variable light.
