It's a new lens, with a very large aperture and an equally large price.

HAL-9000 : I can't handle that Dave.....
EXACTLY what I fear about AI! If HAL kills off humans because he (uh, "it") feels threatened, I'm wondering if an AI program could do the same. (Seriously, I'm not quaking in fear but. . . . )

I did a little search. Plena is a Puerta Rican music style that has been around for quite a while. It is a "people's mysic" with a notable African influence. Don't know how you get from there to a lens, but the usual rumor mongers seem to think that what is coming is a 135mm f/1.8 "nocht" style Z lens, perhaps with defocus control.
I had a fast (although not really very good) 135mm lens for my Olympus film cameras, and it was fun to use, even though it didn't have any coated elements and suffered the consequences of that shortcoming. A really good lens of that focal length could be a real kick to use. It won't be applicable for anyone seeking to reduce weight though.
I guess we will learn on Tuesday.
