- The soft and beautiful bokeh characteristics at any shooting distance possible only with a fast (bright) lens
- Adoption of two ED glass elements, and two aspherical lens elements
- Nano Crystal Coat adopted to suppress ghost and flare
- Adoption of a new, powerful stepping motor (STM) enables quiet and accurate AF control with both still-image and movie recording

The price is outrageous, but really not much worse than the Sony 55/1.8 ZA.

Review
In center sharpness is extremely high even at the widest aperture of f/1.8. It remains impressively sharp throughout the aperture range, becoming a little softer on very close examination at f/11, and slightly softer again at f/16. Edges of the image are almost as sharp, with the best results seen between f/2 and f/11.

You did not see Panasonic lenses prices yet. Nikon will look like entry level offers compared to any of them.
During one of the meetings they discussed role models for new FF system - all of them are from top 1.5% by income. Their plan is to have same profit on one body that Sony is making selling 3-4 A7III/A7rIII (and this is also high margin cameras). -
Expensive, very expensive. Then the 85mm will cost more than U$1,800 dollars
They think ist a nearby Leica market.

Two Extra Dispersion, and two aspherical for such a simple Lens.
Well Done

Yeah, but that's Zeiss. Sony 50 1.8 is around $200.
-
To be fair, the Sony/Zeiss 55/1.8 is more expensive.
-
New Nikon and Canon systems will have highest margins lenses.
-
Pretty outrageous price for a nifty fifty
