Look at the camera quest website: " 21-35 f/3.4-4 Konica M, for Konica Hexar RF, announced February 2002 for sale in March 2002, this is a dual focal length 21 or 35 lens, it is not a zoom as you turn a ring to select either the 21 or 35 focal lengths, limited edition of 800 lenses, 21 viewfinder supplied with lens, list price about $1550 "

Limited edition only 800 pcs. worldwide, That's crazy! I don't expect I have any chance to get one of these :-(

I did a google search but couldn't find any hands-on evaluations yet. I'm not sure the lens has shipped in Japan. The Japanese photo mags should have first-look writeups this month, though. Alex or Mani have to tell us what's in Asahi Camera and Nippon Camera when they hit the stands.

It's a great shame, it's a very useful lens I should think and I'm sure the quality will be excellent.
