I think the current X-lens lineup is really great, the only thing I do miss is some slighly longer primes like an 85mm (equiv.). So what's on your wishlist?

I'd like to see a 105 f1.4/1.8 eqv but would settle for a 135 f1.4/1.8 eqv

That would be a ruddy big lump of glass!

The 85mm (equiv.) is coming next year, the 1.2/56mm !

What I'm waiting for is a 2.0 (or faster)/85mm OIS (135mm equiv.) ;-)
 
85 will give the field of view equivalent to 127,5mm... 90mm will give 135mm.

I would like to see a 75mm f1.4 or f2.0 lens, because I like the focal length and do not have money to buy the Leica M versions...

probably none as 56mm f/1.2 will give you 85mm equivalent field of view.

maybe, but maybe a 90mm f/2.8 (135mm eq) would be handy. i wouldn't go for larger aperture as DoF at this focal length is quite thin

Less expensive than Leica is a lens like this, if you can dispence with AF and OIS:

Minolta f1.7/85mm MC

Ooops - I'd been in a hurry: I meant 85mm (135 equiv.) - sorry!

Are the options for the poll equivalent focal lengths OR do I multiply 1.5x to the options. If the latter the lenses IMO should all have OIS.

The poll options meant 35mm and not equivalent focal lengths, so for equivalent lengths the 1.5x multiplicator applies. And yes - I think OIS would have been useful for all lenses, but I don't know how much this will contribute to weight and size ....

So, if the numbers are already converted than the 85 mm is already soon to be in existence. Fuji has the 56 mm 1.2 which is the 85 mm equivalent.

At the same time Fuji has the 55-200 mm that is a 80 mm - 300 mm 3.5-4.8 equivalent. SO I think a fast 180 mm or 270 mm 2.8 would be nice.
 
Sorry - I wanted to use the 'normal' notation:
So 'XF 85mm' is meant to be approx 135mm with the X-Sensors...
Please excuse the created confusion!
 
100 2.8 macro OIS

I wish people would not do this. I own Fuji 18mm and 35mm lenses, not a 27mm and a 53mmm.

I've used formats ranging from 3.5x5mm up to 300x375mm and always state the actual, measured focal length of lenes. I might include a FF equiv value in parentheses (FF Xmm) in a general forum but can't see the point in a format-specific one like this.

For the record, I'd like a 105mm (FF 158mm) f:2. OIS would be nice, but not essential.
 
90mm F/low and sharp.
120mm MACRO F/2.8 and sharp.

I totally agree! I really should have been a little more careful in the OP: My intention was to write "85mm (135mm equiv.)" but I messed it up by forgetting the 135mm ...
