Digital BW, The Print

Some people are selling their 17-35mms to get the 16-35mm...due to perceived/hyped improvements in sharpness at the ends of the zoom.

The difference can't
really be great enough to make anybody sell their 17-35mm to get the 16,
I wouldn't think. Don't know what the other is, or if there is one. 
They need to put out an 8mm just for digital.

and Nikon too!

Nikon already does have an 8mm.

It's a full-blown fisheye though, as well as being quite the largest wide 
angle lens that you'll ever see.

I don't see a rectilinear 8mm though, even if figured just to cover 
23.5x15mm. 

The back focus is far too long to dodge the mirror.

That's why I wonder why no brave soul has brougt out a digicam with a Leica 
39mm screw or M mount so the Voigtlander 15mm can be used.

Are you listening Cosina? :-)
