Poll: What lens do you want to see next?

Listed are lenses and prices that I think are "reasonable guesses" as to what may be released within the next couple years (some sooner than others, obviously).  Of these, which lens would you want to see next?

Rick Knepper, photographer, shooting for pleasure. It is better to have It and not need It than need It and not have It. Mystery Gardner: "Rick, you have a passion for photography but not a position. That's a good thing." Various RAW comparisons at Link below. Includes 5D3 vs D800E (new uploads), 5D3 vs. 6D, Zeiss lenses etc. https://app.box.com/s/71w40ita6hrcfghojaie

good with what I have

I think I may finally be done with adding lenses!

A 24 Art *might* tempt me if it can combine the strengths of the Rokinon (for astrophotography) and the Canon (for general event shooting/AF).  Otherwise I'm happy to pass.

The only other lens I'm eyeing is the Zeiss 135 f/2, but not sure it can be justified.

Other than that, just planning to sit back for several years, enjoy what I have, and hopefully get a new Canon DSLR with a 36MP sensor with significantly higher DR.

If it's a *Single* Lens Reflex, why do I need so many lenses?

maybe an updated TS-E 45 or 90

... to match the features of the current 24/17.

I could see uses for those, but no rush.

15-75mm f/2.8-4.0 IS for Canon APS-C DSLR with at least the same IQ as the old Olympus 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0.

Willing to accept the shorter 75mm (in lieu of 85mm) for the faster f/2.8-4.0 max apertures.

The rumored 24 / 1.4 Art is number one on my list.  I would also like a 200 / 2.8L IS (or 200 / 2.8 OS Art) that was sharp enough to take a 2x TC with minimal degradation.

The only other lens I'm eyeing is the Zeiss 135 f/2, but not sure it can be justified.

The rumored Sigma 135 / 1.8 OS Art has no appeal to you?

Other than that, just planning to sit back for several years, enjoy what I have, and hopefully get a new Canon DSLR with a 36MP sensor with significantly higher DR.

If Canon made a D750 clone for $1800 (shouldn't be a problem if it came out in 18 months), that would be nice.  I'd also love if the camera had an electronic shutter and the following feature:  you set the f-ratio and exposure time, and the camera takes as many photos as it can at high ISO (where the read noise is low for Canon sensors, since I sincerely doubt they're going to get new tech or buy, or collaborate, with anyone else) in that time interval, and it automatically stacks them in a 16 bit (or higher) RAW file.  That would be just freakin' awesome!

But, you know, and I know, that neither of the above will happen.

A prime around 20-24mm with Otus specifications.

...the Sigma 24 / 1.4 Art considering how their 50 / 1.4 Art compares to the 55 / 1.4 Otus?  Or were you looking for a UWA prime without AF?

Oh...24-70/2.8 sized, but expanded in diameter to about a 95mm filter thread.  $2,000.

same here it is not a good idea to have too many lenses, seriously. not enough time to use all and some collect dust and completely forgotten. if i had to start all over again, i'd get a 24-70 f2.8II, and a 70-300mm. since i like birding, i'd keep my 300 f2.8II and 600 f4.0II. that would be it

cheerz.
