I just came back from a rather intimate concert of a band of friends, and the room was so small that I could not get a whole-band shot with my 50 mm 1.2, unless I stood in the very far corner of the room, which was occupied during most of the concert. The light was not really intense enough for the 28-70mm at 2,8 on 28mm, so I am seriously looking into this lens.
I think you can pre order lenses and I'm sure they will announce when you can pre order, I'm not too sure though as I've never done it before but keep an eye out when the lens gets announced!
I've stopped being excited about modern fast lenses years ago. They are too sharp, too expensive, out of focus blur which is way too smooth and character-less, it will probably be big and heavy... it's probably perfect as you say, but in my book means boring and technical, no fun.
Fair enough, I fully understand where you are coming from, they are photo lenses first so that's probably why but cine lenses are so expensive. It will be great but I get where you're coming from!

We actually need a 24mm L more. The ef 35 L ii is still awesome
Yeah good shout but a 35mm will be very nice haha
Can you pre-order or pre-pay for this or just mad rush the moment it drops?
