Dimage EX Wide 1500 on its way

I always liked the film-like IQ that the Dimage EX zoom 1500 produces. Both in color and B&W.

But I also thought that the zoom is not very, fast, wide and also loud though high quality when it comes to IQ.

I intended to go with the 28mm module in the first place as it probably will suit me better and hopefully bring more optical qualities.

I don't know if it is true or not that it is an f1.9 lens which Dcviews claim

It is not much info to find at all about that module.
