Fun times.

That lens is taking serious aim at my pocketbook.
Are they only announcing the 50 and 85 this weekend?
That's all I've seen so far. They are promising at the moment that for
2017 or later, they will introduce a wide angle single focus (this is
single focal length (that's a prime lens, if Dodo is still reading)) :),
a large aperture standard prime, a large aperture medium telephoto
prime, a large aperture ultra wide angle prime and a fish-eye zoom.
See the road-map here:

I'm excited about the 50. The standard lens is my favorite walk around,
though this one is big enough that I might not like it so much, and I
already have an A*85/1.4, which is excellent, so the 85 is only somewhat
interesting to me.
I saw a mock up of the new 50mm sitting beside the FA50/1.4, the new one
looks to be about 3 times the size of the old one.
