I for one am not surprised, everything is made of plastic now.

I am not against plastic per se, but *this much*? And I have to wonder
exactly how much firmware is loaded into that lens. Are the circuit
boards solely for focusing, or are they responsible for
distortion/CA/PF/crapshoot correction too?
I have the benefit of being able to sit back and watch. And that's
just what I'm going to do.

Call me a Luddite or curmudgeon or jack-ass or whatever, but it sure
would be nice if the folks who made our cameras would make a model or
two that didn't include a bunch of fluff, like facial recognition (I'm
pretty good with that myself) and video. Instead, this is
revolutionary, they could put some functional _parts_ in the camera,
like a real viewfinder that doesn't resemble a mile-long tunnel of
distortion.
I would possibly jump at the Digital Pen with viewfinder and 17mm as a
pocket camera - especially as I've photographed my R-D1 and lenses ready
for eBay. But it's still not quite right for me. The R-D1 was close,
very close. The M8 is too big and expensive. Something Leica CL size,
screw the zooms (not literally) and I'll just have a couple of primes.
