They listened to me!!! New CV 21mm f/3.5 version II

[rfaspen]

I can't believe it. CV has just announced (will be available SOON) a new version of their 21mm f3.5 lens. I have been wanting that lens for a while now, but just couldn't make myself get it because I detest the little stick. Well, I'm glad I hesitated. The new version 2 has a "regular" focus tab! Now I can finally get that lens.

I saw it here:

It must be true. It's coming!

It looks good in black.

I have the "stick". It's not so bad.

I think the optics will be the same as the stick. Of course, it sounds like they're going to charge $100 more for the non-stick version 😕
