Fujirumors reports that Sigma will also announce the 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN on October 5th. Every DC DN lens is available for E-mount and L-mount so I am sure this will be coming for those mounts too. This means we can expect two new lenses next week:

• Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 E and L-mount lens
• Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN  X, E, L-mount

On October 5 at 9am London time Sigma will announce a new product. And I was the first to tell you ahead of time that we are likely getting a new 70-200mm f/2.8 lens for both Sony E and Leica L-mount 😉

Below you can find the Japanese youtube teaser:

Panasonic Germany now listed four lenses on their roadmap:

SAR reports that Sigma plans a live streaming event on October 6th. And they are likely to announce the new 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (for both Sony E and Leica L)

Panasonic Japan officially released the new S lens roadmap. Four lenses are teased:

• macro lens
• standard zoom lens (28-70mm f/2.8?)
• High magnification zoom lens
• super telephoto zoom lens

CameraBeta has been invited for a talk with Panasonic managers and this is the info they gathered:

• At present, Panasonic focuses on the mid-range full-frame camera market, but in the next few years, it will supplement entry-level and high-end models
• Video will continue to focus on 4K, 6K oversampling, 6K and open gate.
• 8K is not sufficiently popular in the consumer market.
• A telephoto lens will be available soon. I think it’s a surprising size, so please look forward to it.
• It has suffered a lot in the last three years, but is still very good.
• LUMIX G is stable overall. LUMIX S is the best result ever.
• China is the strongest market.
  ・Rapid recovery of production and sales
  ・Securing production and supply by building factories
