New Carl Zeiss wide lens

http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/03/16/Carl-Zeiss-Distagon-T-15mm-F2p8-super-wide



Well for those of you out there who like to splash the cash, this is the new "must have" item. The super high quality German optics manufacture Zeiss has released their new wide lens with Canon and Nikon mounts (full frame only for both). It has a full metal barrel, with buttery smooth focusing ring and boasts a very wide angle of view with 110 degrees across the face. Now you might be saying "hold on a moment SeanRay, both Nikon and Canon have a lens that offers the same if not higher angle of view" and you would be right. They also have extremely high standards of construction. So will the more than $3000 asking price be worth the bragging rights? I am unlikely to get my hands on one to make a comparison but while it does look very posh I will stick with my L-series lenses and leave this for the posers.
Cheers.
SeanRay :)
