Outside of some intermediate focal lengths from here I'd like to see 125, 165, and eventually a 220mm. And maybe a Tokina flavored 300mm. I don't expect anything beyond 125mm to be T1.5 however. We'd be talking pretty chunky lenses.
Agreed! I really want *something* in the 125-140mm range (T1.5 nice, but T2.1 not a deal-breaker), followed by something in the 180-210mm range (T2.1 nice, but T2.6 not a deal-breaker). For me, a really sweet solution for longer telephoto lenses would be a common front element with interchangeable rear elements, like the old Leica APO Telyt series (https://www.apotelyt.com/photo-lens/leica-apo-telyt-r-module). That could be a great way to get 180, 250, and 350 with a common chunk of front glass. That might be overkill for 4" of clear aperture, but just a thought...
