An f/1 !!! WOW that would make some headlines !!! Just released a DA55/1.4 though so a bit of a surprise to say the least.
a DFA*50 could sell more than a DA* - due to presence of aperture ring it can be also be used on film cameras which don't have e-dials like the MZ5N but I admit I'm surprised at DFA, perhaps they've DA'd an older design which they hadn't manufactured before.
a DA135/2.8 makes some sense - just look at the price the faster version of the M42/135 can reach. I could have used one of those today indoors !
a DFA*20/2.8 is nice - an updated FA20/2.8 I assume ? Slightly surprised they didn't update the FA24/2 instead. That would make 14mm, 15mm and 20mm primes in the range, possibly the 14 would discontinue ?
DA*400/4 could well be the 'super telephoto' on the present roadmap as roland mabo suggests, sounds rather nice - what would the filter size be 77mm ?? If it's not too heavy or bulky i.e. possible to handhold, then that would make a nice match for my 200/2.8 - dread the price tho !
I'm not familiar with the 645 focal length conversion to 35mm film equivalent but they will need some new lenses for the 645D so that makes sense.
no TC though :-((
as with all rumours, we'll just have to wait and see !
