The fancy looking (but damn good performer) Sigma DP2 Quattro release has been delayed according to sources from Sigma-Rumors.
Meantime Fujirumors reports that the new 18-135mm XF zoom could be announced on June 19.
Fuji will soon release a new XF 35mm f/1.4 There will be no optical change but a hardware improvement on the autofocus mechanism.
It’s also likely that the lens will be announced on June 19 when Fuji will have the big announcement day.

Well, let’s hope this isn’t just a marketing gag by Fuji France because their flyer promises quite a lot!
Fuji says they will launch a “vast operation never heard-of in the photography world“ for June 19th.
Better you keep your promise Fuji France!!! :)
Let’s catch up with some lens rumors:
1) Fuji is likely going to announce a XF 90mm f/2.0 lens in late 2014 or early 2015 at max (Source: Fujirumors).
2) Olympus will soon announce the $1,799 expensive and high quality 7-14mm f/2.8 MFT lens (Source: 43rumors).
P.S.: A major bunch of FE lenses will be announced in late August by Sony. But still no specs available yet…
Hybrid viewfinder lovers will be happy to hear that Fuji is likely going to announce a new X-PRO2 and X200 camera at Photokina in September. Both will feature a new APS-C X-Trans sensor. No guys, these will not be organic sensors (they will come in two years from now).
The specs of the cameras are yet unkown. But before the two big guys Fuji will also announce the new X30 compact camera with 1 inch sensor.
Really a great time for Fuji fans!
In an interview released at Amateur Photographer Leica didn’t rule out the possibility to launch a Full Frame Leica T version sometimes in the future.
To be realistic I don’t think this will happen any time soon. Leica still has to consolidate the Leica T lens range and focus on the marketing of the camera. But with more and mroe mirrorless FF cameras coming from 2015 towards Leica may be “forced” to launch a FF Leica-T version too!
A new sources sent me info this morning about a possible new Panasonic LX8 camera. He writes:
Panasonic lx8 comming soon.On July 16!Build in EVF and bigger Sensor.looks similar to the lx7
I have no track of the source and therefore take it with a grain of salt! :)
P.S.: After the Sony Rx100M3 and the soon to be announced Fuji X30 this would become the third large sensor compact camera with built-in EVF.
