Lensvid had a chat with Mr. Kazuto Yamaki. Among the topics are the new 28-105mm lens and the future Sigma 28-45mm T2 Cine shown for the first time at the show.

Doesn’t look like they will announce a new FP camera at this event tough 🙁

As you know Samyang recently announced a unique 32mm pancake lens with swappable focal lengths option. For now it’s only available for E-mount in South Korea. But there is a fair chance this will be made for L-mount too (Samyang is part of the L-mount alliance).

If you are curious to see how this lens works check out those images posted on the South Korean forum SLRclub:
