Still seems that it should be a less expensive lens. I expect we'll see that in a few months.
I am not so thrilled about this lens - compared to the 2.8 II, less resolved, stop slower, smaller, lighter, and Macro save $700. Hmmmm, wait the Tammy is same size, effectively the same resolution, step faster, IS, no macro and a bit less $$....

What this really points to is the 2.8 II is a monster of a lens. I was hoping for some sort of uber resolution, a step beyond the 2.8. Oh well, sort of falls under the if you care the load weight & dollar wise, do the 2.8. if not Do the Tammy.
