35mm 1.8 FX will be more then 1.5k
See the 28mm 1.8G for example
and dont diss canon 24-105mm F4. Its a great lens. Very useful for everyday use and very good for video recording thanks to its IS. Nikon doesnt have this kind of lens (interm of price and perf la. nikon 24-120mm F4 expensive and slow i heard) so i reckon the new sigma 24-105mm F4 will be popular among nikon video kaki. I know shinchan excited about it

The wider the lens, the more difficult it is to make, and the higher the price. A 1.5K price point is a logical one considering the price of the previous 35F2D
Don't diss nikon's 24-120 either, yes it may be expensive, but it's a good lens nonetheless. Don't really get what you mean by slow tho

Edit: ahh, I forgot, it's common for canon pipu to call nikon lenses slow. Yeah, af is slow compared to canon's USM motors, but still quite fast imo.
