I am wondering how far CV can implement this formula with tweaking...how about 28 1.2 or 1.4 Nokton in the same vein as the 35/40/50 1.2s
I would love to see that.
The Nokton's we currently have in E mount are:
21 f/1.4; 40 f/1.2; and 50 f/1.2
There are obviously some holes there.
The Nokton's we currently have in VM mount are:
21 f/1.4, 35 f/1.2 III, 40 f/1.2, 50 f/1.2, and 75 f/1.5 (there is a 50 f/1.1 and 50 f/1.5, but I think these are being supplanted by the 50 f/1.2)
There are fewer holes here, but it seems there is room for at least one and probably 2 Nokton between 21 and 35. I would love to see a 28 Nokton (either f/1.2 or f/1.4) and maybe there is room for a 24 or 35 as well. For now, however, I would just be happy with the 35 f/1.2 III and the 75 f/1.5 being offered in E mount. I really hope that happens by the end of the year. Even if these lenses don't get developed for E-mount they do pretty well on the Sony cameras with an adapter for VM mount. Not ideal, but still very good options.
I am not too desperate for the 75 1.5 port or the 35 1.2 v.3, but I no others are so it would be good to see.
I see the a 24 1.2/1.4 as being too close to the 21 1.4, or at least it would make more sense to release a 28mm with the 21/35 gap, lack of decent 28 options, and given that most RF's have 28 frame lines natively so a VM could come out and be ported to e-mount, which CV seems to prefer but perhaps they'd do an e-mount only has they have before a couple times here recently.
