A 35mm f1.0 lens may be the one of the Most Exiting Events, since the inception of the DX format, but in DX terms, it would effectively be a 52.5mm f1.0 “Normal” lens. Excellent Nikon, since the D7000 has become a Series Group that will eventually reach a D7500 Near Perfect DX Camera! … Joe Prete
F/1.0! May that be the start of an aperture war like back in the days? There’s seems to be a lot of elements for a 35mm.
WOW! Finally DX is getting some attention! D5500/d7k with this will rock! Lets see 50-150 f/2.8 and VR version of 50 F/1.8. We DX users can dream again!
A 35mm 1.0 G lens. This will not be cheap. I will just stick with the 50mm 1.8. Suits me just fine. And others as well.
