The thing is, the MkI isn’t bad (I know CA is pretty high), the price is really high and I believe that most P1 users already have better lenses around it. As far as I am concerned the 80mm is my least used lens.
At this point I would rather spend this amount of money on a Sony a1 or the upcoming Nikon Z9. They will deliver far more value per US$.
But I don’t think that mki users are necessarily the target. It’s still nice to see that P1 continues to work on the lenses and new entrants in the system will certainly benefit from a higher quality 80mm.
Cheers,
