Who has already ordered the 24mm Zeiss with their NEX 7 & why should I?

[BruPri]

I ordered the body-only to use with my MF legacy Nikkor stuff... I can still update my order, just need a bit of persuading. (if that's possible)

If you have the money and the 35mm equivalent focal length is something that will appeal to you, then I say go for it.

I think that almost everyone is waiting for reviews to start coming in before even thinking about getting this lens at this price. Am I wrong?

If I was going to get one, I would certainly wait for some more reviews before plinking down the cash, even though I fully expect this to be an excellent lens and would be shocked to find out that it is not.

Your not wrong but at $1200 for the NEX-7 I'd also be waiting for the reviews before putting down the money on the camera.

I don't blame you for waiting, but I am certain this lens will be great.

NAH!

Can't break my streak; NEX-5, NEX-C3...besides, I have a very specific role all these have played as a digital back for MF lenses. For probably less money I might entertain that phase detection adapter and some used Sony A mounts.
