No such thing. Only ASPH lenses are 21 f/2.8, 24 f/2.8 , 35 f/1.4 and
f/2.0. No announcements that I know of for any other ASPH lenses yet. Some
say the new 35-70 f/4 zoom for the R cameras has an Aspheric element, but I
haven't seen that info yet. (I have no reason not to believe it, by the way).

Nope.
