That's wide enough for me. Now if it was digital only, they could keep the
cost down since less glass would be used. Not comparing glass or lenses, but
Nikon brought out the digital DX 17-55/2.8 which pretty much replaced the
oldie but a goodie 17-35/2.8 for digital users. Smaller design put the lens
at $1100 while the 17-35 was or still is $1500.

Of course I don't doubt CV or even Zeiss come out with digital M lenses if
the Digital M is a success.

Chris,
Specifically, the rumors have been swirling about an 18mm.  If true, an 18mm
that would work on film and digital might be worth the small fortune it will
cost.
