Hmmm interesting... Wish I could read Japanese though! :)

I'll wait for reviews and pricing before I get TOO excited though...

What I'd really love is something like a 12-35 lens... I'd be on that like a shot!

Any heard anything more about these new lenses? Particularly interested in the 16-50/2.8... If it is anywhere as well-built and as good value as the Tokina 12-24, it is definitely on my hit list! :)

I want the 10-50mm f/2.8 that's a fisheye at the wide end and rectilinear at 50mm. :wink:
