It will probably be launched with a dedicated finder. Cost is expected to be in the region of 650 GBP and it should be available in the Autumn. Personally, I think this lens will sell well as its price is extremely competitive and it offers increased versatility. Not least of which, the crinkly black finish of the lens hood makes it look pro-spec. I was wondering how many LUGgers, who already own the 15mm, will consider adding the 12mm to their armoury as well? Or is it a case of trading in the 15 for the 12? I'd be interested in your views as this lens is quite extreme and maybe just owning the 15mm is sufficient? Cheers, Paul.
