True - however, it's faster as well as smaller and lighter. If one were to consider that it's wider as well, an argument can be made that the lenses are getting smaller. I'm sure a 14/2.8 made in the days of the 15/3.5 would have been larger and heavier than the 15mm, or a 15mm/3.5 made today might be both smaller and lighter than the earlier 15/3.5
Still, it would be nice to see both smaller and lighter lenses - and faster lenses as well - and maybe even better quality lenses at lower prices, and all in black, and better lens hoods, and better Shel > [Original Message] > From: William Robb > I'm quite happy with the 14/2.8, though > I wish lenses were getting smaller rather > than larger.
