Rumor has it that it's a short sale, so jump on it if interested.

Great deal! Trying hard not to bite. I've been pondering wide angle lenses for weeks, trying to fill a hole on full frame. My widest rectilinear lens is 40mm, then a 16mm Zenitar fisheye. I've been looking for 20mm-29mm, and was just reading reviews on the Olympus 21mm f/3.5 and Nikkor 20mm f/4.0 when I checked here. This would be a great solution...

Just picked one up.
Needed something wider than my 40 for indoor low-light shots.
We'll see how it goes.

Buy now and decide later. You can return a new lens if you change your mind, but the price is going to go back up to $550 and then you won't have a choice.

So tempting... But it is so redundant for me with my 24-70 II and 17-40. If it was the 35 f/2 IS though I would have been all over it. That extra stop plus IS would be much more beneficial :D
