What lenses are you lusting after?

Obviously the big ticket is the 11-16's fast f/2.8 aperture compared to the 1 stop disadvantage of the 12-24 at f/4.
The lens is available from Japan eBayers, but you'll have to cough up the $100+ premium to be a first adopter.
I'll definitely be picking up this lens the first chance I get, and ditching the Sigma 10-20 just for the f/2.8. Heck, I don't know how one could justify getting any other UWA as the price and performance is ridiculously low.

i'd love the 70-200 2.8 IS, 85 1.2, 100-400 4.5-5.6
BUT realistically, my next lens' will be 70-200 4.0, nikkor 10.5 fisheye, and maybe the 24-70 2.8? I need to still review the 24-70 though.

... after I get the Tokina, I'll let you know. I still use 10mm alot.So much new lenses about to hit. Sigma's telephoto Image stabilized lenses as well as the 50 f/1.4 also. Canon should update the old lenses with new coatings, especially the prime 1.4/1.8/2.0's to correct the halation issues wide open...
welcome to 2 new kids to my collection (canon 600IS and Sigma 800mm) Next to it is Nikon 300VR.

What the hell? You collect some expensive *bazookas*! I mean, your lens collection is ridiculous. It's like you have every high dollar L lens there is. 
Except the 1200 f/5.6:
