For some strange reason it reminds me of a Nikkor.

What's the point of making a good lens(assuming it is) and only 700 of them?

 

[YSLee]

Har, they're only going to make 700 of them? You can read japanese?

 

[Kit]

No I can't read Jap but its not difficult to figure it out. There's a bit of Mandarin.

Nikkor G lens comes without aperture ring. For the initial G lens offerings , the lens body feels like plastic but the glass optics is top notch. The recently announced G lenses will no doubt be of better built quality.
