    Impressive to see a constant f/2.8 aperture on a zoom with that kind of range!

    Big question is does it have a mic input? If so, with an external mic it has the potential to be an excellent video camera with that fast lens! Certainly got my interest … and potentially $$ if it has that. Just wish the zoom was controlled via the lens in a traditional turn dial and not the slow, pokey electronic way it is. But can’t have it all.

    In visiting the B&H website I see that it does have an external mic plug! Hubba hubba!
