Yes, I want it to be priced not more than $800. If others think that my dream is too expensive, I'll edit price tag for free.
If this lens gets made and is of good optical quality, i.e. matching the existing primes at similar FL and aperture settings, there will be a substantial number of people buying it even if they sell it at 10x your stated price, provided it is not more than 1.5 kg.
Think about it. A less than 2 kg system with a 20x f1.2 zoom of true wide angle and true telephoto coverage and full M4/3 picture quality. Macro and sealing provisions too. How much would it be worth? Less than 10k? A bargain!
The physics of such a lens simply don't work. I don't think you could build this at your stated weight at any price. It would also be so large you couldn't effectively use it on any of the smaller m43 bodies.
I'm pretty sure tt321 wasn't really serious.
Spot on Nor was s_grins but we are following the spirit (and the letter) of the thread, which is about dreams.
