Note: Finally, a lens worthy of the small NEX body designs. No idea how it performs yet, but fully collapsed this should make for the most compact and competent 24-75mm (equivalent) package on the market. Expect this lens to be wildly popular if it performs as well as the normal kit lens at equivalent focal lengths.
