p.3 #1What unannouced lenses would put an end to your GAS for a long time?
Well corrected 35/1.4-2 no heavier than my 35ZM
VC 180/4 APO for FE
200-600/5.6
I love my motley crew of tiny M-mount primes from Zeiss and Voigtlander. If I got native with similar performance and size, I would welcome the additions. I would also love a set of Voigtlander APO FE primes like the VC65.

Loxia 15 is about the only lens missing for me. Preferably 2.8 or faster, with larger than 52mm thread if need be.

200-500 5.6, lightweight or something similar. Lightweight being priority. Or a 500 5.6 lightweight.

50/1.4 ZA reworked as a GM (for consistent usability with 24 GM), hopefully with some weight and volume reductions.
35 or 40 GM (preferably f1.8 or 2, don’t need 1.4, though that would be OK).
Like some others above a set of small, well built, weather sealed, high IQ primes along the lines of the Fujicrons. Not budget plastic nifty fifty type lenses. Maybe 20, 28, 35, 50, 90, 200. Maybe f2.8-4 range depending on focal length.

105mm f1.4 (I'd settle for a 135mm f1.8 if it's fairly small/light with OIS)
28mm f1.4
200-500mm f5.6

200-500mm f5.6

35-50/2
85-135/2
100/1.8 or 1.4. I would prefer the f/1.8 for size. I would even be content with an f/2.

Easy to come up with but currently impossible to achieve. A 100-400 f/2.8 IS that weighs no more than 4 Lbs

From everything I'm reading, the new Canon RF28-70 f2 is an optically brilliant lens, so therefore a Sony 24-105 f2 with the same optical brilliance, would be just the ticket for me!

For all the croppers out there, I know it will never happen how about a couple of high quality, low wt teles.
100 f2 or 2.8 and tc compatible 300 f4

$6,000 and 6lb...still be your ticket?

I would need two baseball helmets to protect me from flying bats around here.
It’s a rental though

35 -105 f2.8 or f2 (even if that makes it big and heavy)

A 20-200 f2.8, 10cm long, weight 500g, sharp to the corners wide open, GM-like resolution.
You laugh - perhaps someone, sometime, invents a new optical "trick" so that that becomes possible? Who knows?
