Nice selection of pictures.

To be precise I think you are referring to the HD DA* 50-135mm F2.8 ED [IF] PLM. Or something like that.

I would be happy with improved AF, updated coatings and rounded aperture blades. I don't think tweaking the optical design is needed as it was with the DA*16-50. And if it results in a bigger lens (like it did with the DA*16-50) then that would give me pause for thought.

The resolution was at the limit to be good enough for current cameras and more in next future.

Open aperture was good, but today we can get it better.

Look to the new 16-50.

Quality like a prime lens.

Higher contrast and sharpness at 2.8, resolution good for more than 60 megapixels.

The focus lens group is old school, needs new construction and technology.

We will get a new one
