And if you look at the end of the announcement, you will get this
clarification:

"Update: If you're gotten this far, we hope you also realize that today
is April Fool's. With that said, we hope to have the pleasure of making
this announcement for real at some point in the near future!"

What a pity. I wanted one to go with my 24 MP Nikon D3200.

Most people who use DSLRs do not use large telephotos. 400mm and up are
basically specialty lenses; absoloutely required for certain work, but
never used by the vast majority of photographers.

I think superwide tilt-shift lenses are boss. It would be silly of me to
say "nobody would buy camera from a company that doesn't have a superwide
tilt-shift lens". It's a specialty lens.
