FE 85mm G?

[Rawfa]

I wonder how much will this cost to be competitive against the batis....

That would be an odd addition to the lens lineup, given that there are already excellent options in that focal length range.

Personally, I'm hoping for a fast 135mm or 200mm.

What I'd really like to see is an 85-90mm f2.8 lens with stellar image quality and small size. Something like the Contax/Yashica/Zeiss 90mm G. But, all the rumors say that the new lens will be f1.4.

I agree that releasing such a lens now would be pretty strange timing, considering the Batis 85 (which is still heavily back ordered and not even properly reviewed). And, I also agree that pricing such a lens would be dicey.
