USD700. hmm.....actually comparing it to other CZ lenses, this is relatively cheap. those 50mm CZ primes cost like 2-3k. saw it in some US site in nikon mount.




edited: aiyah, but it is only for APS-C dslr. guess that high price would not really justify well then.

see how many of us getting, may be can do a MO for the cow
But if you want to get it immediately after launch, I don't think the price will be cheap. It also depend on supply and demand of the market.

Like other APS-C lens, I suspect it may be able to be used from 22 (or 24)-80mm for full frame, 16-22mm will have block corner. Vignetting may be an issue also , need to try then know.

i think good is relative. my sigma 18-50 also quite alot of good reviews, but problem is that minolta mount dun have HSM, so the AF is crawling slow. if the tamron AF is fast, heh heh.............you will be seeing a sigma in WTS.
