It's coming in fall, not spring.
As expected.
The most interesting part was he said they're still making FA lenses for the 645D. Not only is that important in itself, but it means they're not averse to producing older designs.
On the FF (35mm) side, that means they
might produce some other FA lenses again.
The ~24-70 and 70-200 * zooms definitely should be revamped (plus new ones could be a cash cow at expected prices), but many others could be useful as is. So they really could have a full line up shortly after launch if they want to.
