New image of the new lenses at 43 Rumors. You can see the front element! In a very rough estimate, it looks like the front element might just be big enough for f/2.8 on the 35-100. Expect lots of misguided comparisons with SLR 70-200 f/2.8 lenses to look forward to.
Actually, on lens speed, anyone know how much creative license is allowed? In the same way the focal lengths on zooms are often not exactly what they should be, but can vary by some %.
Further thought: 12-35 x2 = 24-70. Sound familiar?... I'd guess that'll be f/2.8 too although I'm not good enough to estimate speed of wide angle lenses from front element size.
