Rumor from a fairly credible source has it that the DA35 will be an f/ 2 lens; I would be happy if they just took the FA35/2 AL optics and updated the lens mount. Faster than that probably gets too bulky for my taste. I've heard less credible rumors on the DA55, but here's hoping it's an f/2 or faster too!
