pls tell me not April 1st joke.
No it’s not a Joke, you can check the patent no and source link.
Very good. To be honest i don’t really care that lens, as i don’t see significant difference between this and the 10mm prime. Ok better F value, so probably nicer pics,better quality lens however i don’t think it will be significant in IQ. I don’t even think you can separate target from background much better, as it is very short lens. But it seems to be that nikon 1 line is alive, they don’t want to discontinue it. I can even imagine that those amazing zooms they put on the DL compacts, can have a detachable version later.
