These who sell less. For instance the 90/2.8 Elmarit since the 90/2.5 
Summarit will be faster and more affordable. Also the 75/1.4mm could see 
hard times coming up.

Something fast below 28mm should happen. 24/2 Summicron or so. A digital CL 
kind M-mount or fixed lens compact camera should also happen.
