Well since I am one of the person that calls it "smelling like marketing 
hype," let me reiterate why I thought so:
- stress on high resolution when most experts say what are they smoking?
- stress on high RF baselength when only one lens (85/2) would benefit. 
Also again, doesn't the RF mechanism needs to of higher quality for the 
focusing accuracy to show through?
- stress on focus shift w/o mentioning its benefits. You and Alex shed more 
lights on the subject than their FAQ :-O
