This gets really interesting since the rumor just says "two more lenses are coming, stay tuned to find out what they will be." So now we can speculate.
The question now becomes "where are the gaps?" Which lenses that might be sold in sufficient numbers to generate a profit can be needed next? Where is the commercial potential in a lens catalog that already has over 100 lenses, including some very obvious redundancy in it?
Sure, everyone would love a 12mm f/0.95 lens, but what are the odds we could afford one, and how big and heavy would it be? And how many would actually be sold?
My own personal favorites might be:
- a 9-18mm lens with a constant f/2.8
- a 100mm f/2.8 macro lens
- a 150mm f/2.8
- a 500mm d/5.6 weather sealed lens for birders
- a T/S lens designed for M4/3?
Now, I realize these would be frightfully expensive lenses, but what else is left to do?
Do we really need more kit lenses or more compact folding lenses or more adaptations of existing lenses that simply add OIS or are 0.1 of an f/stop faster?
If you stop and think about it, this is a nice problem to have. "Too many great lenses already," so now you have to venture off the well beaten path.
