  • Full frame lens
  • The lens coating is optimized for the digital

      Exactly. I expect the price to get an update as well. Still though, it should ring at around $200 or less based on the prices of other no-frills, compact STM prime lenses.

        All I want is a 50mm f/1.8 w/ 4 stops is IS.

        I’d even take a 2.0, 2.2, 2.8. Or a 1.4 (price would be crazy on that though.
