Designing a new lens takes more than a couple of weeks... This lens will have been planned for a year at least and the SB is what - 2 or 3mths in the wild?

I find it hilarious ppl will be so sensitive about listing conclusions from Reid and calling for potential deletions - yet the forums are abandon with corporate secrets from rumour sites and their...

I know this is a little old - but my C3 wouldn't turn off after 6mths of use, and perhaps 20k of shutter activations.  The keypad wheel is starting to go a bit wonky too.  So I think the buttons...

Why not get the Konica Hexanon 35/f2? Its v. sharp wide open and awesome from f2.8 with smooth bokeh (less funky than my 50/1.4 hex). Color is saturated, and contrasty. Some CA in bright light wide...

That Tokina is one of the sharpest uwa's available - often lauded as being better than canikon equivalents especially with the awesome 2.8 aperture.The expensive  sony alpha 10-18 was never better...

I don't think IQ is meaningful here. 30mm on nex with about 45mm equivalent FF field of view compared with 75mm (50mm@apsc) is just much more useful for landscape, street and environmental...

(contd. since dpreview kicked me off during upload!)I just picked up a Vivitar 90mm/2.8 Macro lens last week for $90 off EvilBay.  You can get 1:1 natively without tubes (even greater magnification...

Nice work - crazy looking creature there!  What's with the super long front limb? I was seriously debating looking at some hot-shoe adapters, with macro flash rings...  I think I'll give you Flash...

+1 for Tokina 12-24. At F4 16mm mine is much brighter than the 16mm 2.8@F4 - weird since it has so many more air-to-glass surfaces. Could be brighter than this? In reviews - the Tokina pretty...

I knew the 10-18mm was coming, but I didn't want to miss the whole summer without a ultra-wide lens for my NEX C3.

Bought the Tokina 12-24 instead (Nikon G mount). It's pretty large, but...

Why did you regret replacing the Tokina?
