Asobinet reports that the S1R production completed and sales discontinued. One more sign the new Panasonic high resolution camera is coming soon. The other “sign” was the fact that Panasonic registered a new high end camera in China. Let’s hope we will get the new S1RII at the CP+ show in Japan which opens in February.
Leica registered a new High end camera in China with the code “5404“. My bet is that this is the new SL2 successor (which is currently discounted when bought in bundle).

I got this triple rumor from a source. He said:
Today Sigma Japan launched a teaser for a new November 16 announcement. I am 100% sure this is related to the new Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 (listed here at BH).

According to a source the Panasonic 100mm macro L-mount lens will be released in January. No other info on aperture and pricing was given.
Panasonic Japan officially released the new S lens roadmap back in September. Four lenses are teased:
