If Tamron were to improve the optics of their trio of f/1.8 primes (35 / 1.8 VC, 45 / 1.8 VC, and 85 / 1.8 VC), I think they'd have a few smash hits. Would also be interesting if they were able to make an RF version of the 35-150 / 2.8-4 VC that was a constant f/2.8.

I got to buy the SP 85/1.8 VC last week, and while I returned it due to the focal being too long for my use, and the lens too bulky for a prime, I found the optical quality pretty astonishing, and the VC very useful. Can't quite see much room for "optical improvement" on that one !

Looks like both of those are retrofocal designs. Would be great if they could redesign them to be shorter like the RF 35 1.8 and Samyang 45 1.8. The 85 is probably gonna be what it's gonna be
