OK you're elected as president by my unanimously vote.

order. Any bets on which models will fade away?

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.

Didier (vice-president)
