I looked at Boz's page yesterday. Seems that almost every lens except the
DA has been discontinued or is out of production. Only SIX primes are
shown as being in production (if i counted right), and eleven zooms. All
but one of the zooms is faster than an F4.0, and that's a 3.5. I don't
think there was a constant aperture in the bunch.
Primes in the 2.0 - 2.8 range are certainly slow, at least by the standards
of some people.
How depressing.

But there's always secondhand. How exciting!
