ONE post and let slip the Limiteds are in production again for the first time since late 2012.
surely they aren't going to be released with screw-drive af? and no ois? the standard these days is five-way stabilization, with the camera body cpu talking to both ibis and ois.
perhaps keep the same optics, no ois, but with modern in-lens focus motors?
the tamron 35/1.8 vc is $120 cheaper than the fa31ltd at b&h, and it's about to be released in a-mount:
Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di USD Lens for Sony A AFF012S-700 B&H
that lens rocks, you'd be very happy to see it in k-mount, and if they are doing it for sony, why couldn't it be done for k-mount... simpler and easier than re-engineering the fa31ltd to modern specs.
