I have seen that.
Dangit, it's shame this is for DX. Certainly would buy one immediately for FX. What a near miss.

It is a shame that it has no VR.
Is it even "possible", "feasible" or "reasonable request" for such lens? Just asking, I don't know what would be the size difference with VR. Maybe DX bodies could get VR IBIS too, to solve this issue.
Maybe that lens was supposed to be launched with a DX body with IBIS.
Sony used to launch small DX primes with VR while their cameras did not have IBIS.
This little lens with a Zfc can give the Fuji (grossly overpriced) X100V a run for its money.
It would have made the Zfc kit a lot more interesting if it was ready in time for that launch - instead we got a FF lens that's now obsolete on DX
And how come is obsolete, and suddenly stop working because of this release?

obsolete
adjective
not in use any more, having been replaced by something newer and better or more fashionable:
There is a newer option that is smaller, lighter, and a stop and a half brighter - it's an upgrade over the 28mm in every way.

Sure. There is a one-year newer SUV than mine. But mine still works just fine!
I wish Nikon would release a DX body with IBIS

Rhetorical questions: Do we need them?
Not a DX user but IMO, it's small, it's light, it's a moderate focal length and people want it for the f/1.7 aperture to get narrower DOF. Given the use case, maybe VR isn't as necessary as you might first think.
