It's an excellent lens, that's great, but dunno how much it would sell, it's bulky, expensive, and nothing but a 50mm prime
Tokina did the same already, their 16-28f2.8 is an awesome lens, yet it's not selling well, I expect this one to have the same fate.
Personally, this weekend I have been using the medicore Sony 16-50 on Sony A6000 while keeping the very good Canon 15-85 plus 7D2 in the car... My tokina 16-28 is amazing yet I am using by far more frequently canon 10-18 on crop body.
A huge bulky and expensive prime usually has a hard time attracting customers unless it does something really special, which is not the case of a 50f1.4 lens regardless of its image quality
