There’s a lot of pent-up demand, in the community of Sony users, for a 35mm f2. Sony have given us the perfectly nice 28mm, so why not 35 also?

I like what Leica have done with the T and (and now) the CL line. However, I’d caution that the lenses for this mount appear to be merely very good rather than spectacular. I’m hoping we’ll soon see a Ricoh GR III with that same sensor. I’ll take that over a CL (or any other mirrorless equivalent) and pancake lens.

That review ended far too soon :-/. What is this strange allure of gear I can’t afford?

It's the not so subtle (probably inadvertent) message that amuses me. It's a big camera. It's a muscular camera. It's a man's camera! That said, I don't buy all the negativity about Nikon. They've just perfected the high end DSLR for the third (or is it the fourth?) time? Canon's focus on its glass did turn out to be the better hand to play though.

Olympus had a very small digital system at the point Canon stirred. Now look at the Micro Four Thirds and Fuji systems of today. These are substantially complete systems, with a strong community of users these companies could only have dreamed of in the early naughties. That said, the idea that it is somehow game over for CaNikon is of course absurd.
