So the 20/2 MF was just "a momentary lapse of reason" (or indeed, a clever but solitary attempt to pander to the MF/alt crowd?) Good.
I hope the manual focus crowd will have its fill sooner than later. It is an anachronism for photography, video is another sad story.
I sort of agree. Technically MF lenses can be better though (also better centered). The AF group has to be light-weight - thus small - which is a design compromise.
