Handevision dropped their price of the 40mm f/0.85 lens by $1,400 at BHphoto (Click here). Usually this means the lens didn’t sell very well. Expect it to be discontinued soon. At $499 I certainly would now consider to get the fastest MFT lens on earth.
Reminder: Up to $600 off on Panasonic cameras and lenses at BHphoto and Adorama.
