Interesting to see re-born of slow speed lenses
 - 500/5,6 instead of old 500/4.0
  - 35/1,8
  - 50/1,8

They're announced not "instead" of the faster lenses, but in addition to them. Those who have money to burn and more muscle can still, of course, buy the brand spankin' new 500/4, 600/4, etc.

What we're not seeing, of course, is the rebirth of the super fast lenses made in the film (or even pre-AF) days, like the Canon 50/1.0, Nikon 300/2, etc. Presumably with the high ISOs becoming practical and easy to use, there's just not enough demand anyway.

Noct 58/0.95, 50/1.2 don't count?
