[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 280905, member: 17556"] I can only speak my mind here with an uneducated guess and say that it is due to film versus digital. Take the 50mm f/1.2. No longer made and I think it is likely because digital SLR ISO is so good there is really no need to put that much aperture into a lens? Wide angle, well, actually super wide fisheye. Maybe due to the proliferation of DX sensors? An 6mm fisheye isn't really an 6mm fisheye on a DX camera. Not the field of view anyway. [/QUOTE]
