Ooooh, ahhhhhh... Time for some speculation.

Optically similar to the 85 IS only at f1.2 with 35 L II AF and I’m buying no matter the price :

 

[pixel8foto]

Nah, can't imagine anyone wanting one of these.

 

[jolyonralph]

Don't canon already have enough 50mm lenses?

Stupid canon! No-one wants more 50mm lenses

 

[Respinder]

I'd rather take an f/1.0L personally..
(Hey, one can dream, right?)

50mm 1.2L ii
50mm 1.4 IS ;D
28mm 1.4L BR ;D 8)
Please Canon!

I really hope that it can keep its size. The 50mm 1.2L is probably the smallest L lens which makes it very versatile. For that reason it'll always have a place in my bag when I need it.

1 Sony is better.
2 Canon is late to the party.
3 Won't have that magic character.
4 Not as sharp as Sigma.
5 It's a pickle jar.

What have I missed?
