I voted yes. Although I'd prefer to see a 15mm f/2, the 35mm seems a lot more likely.

From what I can see the existing (old) 35mm f/2 has better IQ than the Nikon 35 f1.8. If Canon would upgrade the existing EF 35 f2 to USM and f1.8 I would buy it even for $350. If all I had was a crop body a EF-S 35 f1.8 for $200 would be in my bag for sure.

My 50/1.8 pretty much never leaves my camera, so I got pretty excited about the talk of a 35/1.8 with similar IQ and price. The more I got to thinking about it though, the difference between 50mm and 35mm isn't that much, and probably not worth changing a lens, for the photos I take at least. I think I'd rather see a 24/2 or something along those lines. It would be really cool to see Canonraise the bar instead of just matching Nikon, and release something like an EF-S 10mm or 12mm prime! I doubt they could keep that around $200 though...

If they make it, I'll be in line to buy one. This sounds like a killer lens.
