I doubt so: I'd expect other signals then.

Since the only replacment or upgrade where the two DFA macros, while they
created six new DA lenses in between, the last FA lense from 2002, and
lots of A/F/FA lenses gone by now, I expect

- the digital sensor size is settled by now: No more full size sensor to
  come. Larger sensors might go for medium format sized bodies

- little work on analog at all. 

See, all of the major 50 mm lenses are gone by now! 
This was once called the 'standard' lense.

Current primes left (prices from www.fotokoch.de) are
 FA  31/1.8: 1049 EUR
 FA  43/1.9:  544 EUR
DFA  50/2.8:  519 EUR
 FA  77/1.8:  789 EUR
 FA  85/1.4:  929 EUR
DFA 100/2.8:  559 EUR

(and some tele > 200 mm, > 1000 EUR)

Current exchange rate: 1 EUR = 1.33 USD, incl. 16 % tax. 
Thus just compare EUR:USD = 1:1
