A highly reliable source told me Panasonic has a new roadmap with new affordable L-mount lenses. It’s yet unclear if that roadmap will be unveiled along the Panasonic S5 announcement in early September or a bit later in October/November.
Panasonic will announce the new entry level S5 (specs here) and maybe also some new affordable glass roadmap on September 2. The teaser image and text has been posted right now by Panasonic and says:

The full specs of the upcoming Panasonic S5 full frame L-mount camera have now leaked by nokishita here.
Nokishita reports:

SAR reports:
The same sources whom shared all the correct info about Sigma lenses confirmed that Sigma has decided to postpone the 70-200mm f/2.8 FE lens launch to autumn 2020. One of the sources says the reason has to do with Sigma trying to improve the autofocus algorithm. This works very good on prime lenses but is said to not be flawless on zoom lenses. They need time to improve it.
