So if you want small(er) lenses, stick to screw drive or MF?

Well they all have internal focusing motors and probably internal
aperture motors. Those will take up a certian amount of room. Then
there's the extra lens elements to correct for sharpness robbing
aberrations. So be careful what you ask for I guess. Face it lenses
will be bigger. Sure it frees up design but that freedom will most
likely be used to make manufacture easier, more than anything else.

lenses, even if manual.

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.
Here's the picture:
