John, you were a gutsy man to break away so far ahead of the peleton on this new product. I wish your bravery had been rewarded with a yellow jersey, not a black eye... I inspected one of the first batch 501/.4 ASPH lenses here in a shop last month. I detected absolutely no mechanical imperfection. In fact, this lens is a honey. Damn that price, though. Damn damn damn. This lens will steal your heart away, unless you've already sold the old cardiac ticker to some burping bleeping digitalese. So now we have a sample size of two. Score is tied 1-1. Who else has handled a new 50/1.4 ASPH and can report on it?
