So I broke down and ordered the lens. B&H had two discounts for the Bild conference last week and I used their Payboo card to save the tax, so I get the lens delivered to my house for $767 (US) all in, which I thought was a solid deal for a new lens that retails for $900 without tax and delivery. It's on backorder, but I'm in no hurry. I think this will be a great option for street or when I want to take a lighter kit with me. I can throw the 35/1.8 S and 85/1.8 S in the bag as well, if I want something faster and cover all the bases in a light weight, modular kit.
