>>114705 It is absurd, although it isn't surprising for exactly the reasons you state about most consumers.
I'm pretty sure it's easier, or at least cheaper. Like I said, the early G series had really fast lenses, the Sigma 30/1.4 is cheaper than any other f/1.4 lens I've heard from around that focal length, and I've heard the four-thirds system also has some really, really fast zooms.
Something like f/1 is probably difficult, but if Canon could come out with an f/2-2.5 34 to 110 (if I remember correctly) equivalent zoom for a consumer camera, faster lenses are certainly possible. It's just that camera companies are greedy bastards. I suspect it's something like the issue with viewfinder coverage in SLRs.
