More importantly, what is this High Performance mode?

I looked over the options in this range and landed on the 17 1.8. Been pretty happy about it.

Not soon to launch, already launched.

You underestimate the versatility of this bag. It is dedicated yes but I put it in my daypack all the time. I looked hard at this and the Crumpler Haven series. Setting out I basically wanted a...

I carry this as a day pack and I've always stacked all of my lenses in my previous bags. What's the harm? They get a bit scuffed but I'm going to use my equipment anyways so eventually they'll be...

One can invest in a bunch of lens pouches no? If you want a compartment for each lens, that'll have to be a backpack at least. :-(

Really? I felt it is better than Sony's implementation.

I owned 14 f/2.5 before, sold it when I got the 9-18 f/4-5.6. I still have the 25 f/1.4 and 45 f/1.8. These two are my most used primes. I'm shooting 25 f/1.4 on an Olympus body without any...
