I'm a dedicated M43 user but this lens, at this price, impresses. Similar NEX and M43 offerings are a lot more expensive. I just hope the IQ doesn't reflect the price!

...says the Leica user.

So this means we will have the choice between a crippled perpetual license version or a CC version with all the bells and whistles?

This is a Nikon 1 lens, not a Micro Four Thirds lens.

Shallow enough to have the nose and ears out of focus in a headshot, at that FL.

I'm not knocking the 1 system, but isn't that because of fire-sales on cameras they couldn't sell at retail price?

itkovian: So if he hadn't included the information in brackets you wouldn't have a problem with his comment? Not sure I understand!

My initial impression was that the specs are impressive in terms of speed/DoF and size, but the price seems a little prohibitive.

It could be worse, look at the Sony RX1.

Maybe IBIS?

Great photos, they reward the viewer.

So you are saying that lens size is independent of sensor size as long as the total light gathered by the lens remains the same? Interesting if true, is this proven anywhere?

I guess not, except you might be able to get around the slow AF with older 43 lenses by using the focus peaking instead.

Apparently it has two user-customisable thumb wheels, one on the front and one on the back.

Silly. One of the great advantages of the M43 system is the number of native lenses available, the most of any mirrorless system.

Market research for Adobe?

As someone else said, dropping the price of LR now looks suspiciously like an attempt to get people 'hooked' before introducing a subscription only model, not the altruistic kindness adobe seem to...
