One trusted source told me on February 26 we are getting these lenses:
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 II Full Frame (more compact than current 35mm f/1.4)
Sigma 15mm f/1.4 APS-C lens (successor of the current 16mm f/1.4)
He confirms he heard “whispers” about a new 85mm f/1.2 Full Frame lens too but he got no confirmation if this lens will be announced on the same day, or be a development announcement.
Another NEW source told me there is also an APS-C zoom lens coming. But I have no specs about this lens yet.

Panasonic has officially registered two new cameras in China! According to the few details we got we can expect to get one nee entry level and one new high end camera.
The entry level camera: This could be a Lumix ZS99 successor or another fixed lens affordable compact camera.
The High End camera: Here we have a couple more options. It could be (finally) the successor to the Lumix S1H, a new high-end fixed-lens camera (LX100 series or other), or, much less likely, a new successor to the Lumix S9 which, in my imaginary world, has a built-in EVF and mechanical shutter.
When will those be announced? It takes a maximum of 3-4 months for a newly registered camera to be released on the market. Therefore, the announcement will be made between the end of February and May. At the Cp+ show we ae likely yo get some new L-mount lens but I have gotten no hints about a new camera yet. I hope to be able to tell you more in the coming days, but at least we will be entering a more exciting period on L-rumors.com after a period of silence 🙂

Q3 was a bad quarter for Panasonic. Sales and profit decreased and forecast for the whole company full-year operating profit was cut by 9.4% to 290 billion yen from 320 billion yen. The company cited heavy restructuring expenses and a “push to reform its group” as the primary reasons for the downward revision.
There is zero info about the camera business. So we don’t know how Lumix sales are going 🙁
Sigma made it official: On February 26 they will announce new products. I can confirm that at least two lenses will be announced. But I winder if Sigma will also surprise us with a new camera launch…a BF II or something completely different!
