Hi Pictograph.

I don't know of any rumors around the 90/2.  It's already a great lens.  If they were to consider an upgrade the only things I could think they could improve would be to fix

  • the flare that fans never mention.  It can flare quite strongly.  I've long since given up trying to understand why some lenses do and some lenses don't, but if they could limit it more effectively, that would be a good thing
  • the lack of TC compatibility.  Why would you not make your longest affordable prime compatible with your tele-converters??!! If they could keep the performance but add TC compatibility., it would make a great lens even better.  (Yes, I know there's a 200mm lens, but that has it's own TC).

Regards, Rod
