    Trevor-
    Here's proof that I checked it out. They only had a pre-production model available at the booth. They let me put it on my camera (EOS 10D) anyway. The autofocus and aperture control didn't work, though. The lens felt solid and hefty. And the US marketing manager pointed out that it's the only "normal" lens made specificall for digital SLRs. When you do the math, for a 1.5x digital conversion, it comes out to be equivalent to a 45mm f/1.4. That's very close to a 50mm lens on a 35mm film camera.
