Here is a recap from FujiAddict on what to expect from Viltrox based on a recent interview by Richard Wong:

• Viltrox plans to release zoom lenses but has nothing to announce now
• Viltrox will have Cine zooms like a 22-200mm 10x cine zoom that is manual focus
• They will also make a 30-300mm 10x cine zoom with manual focus
• Finally a manual focus 42-420mm 10x cine zoom
• So there are three very expensive larger 10x cine zoom lenses by the end of the year
• The three lenses are designed for different sensor sizes, but they are big serious lenses
• The development of one lens takes 1-2 years, but most new lenses take one year
• Viltrox doesn’t have any plans to make camera bodies
• Viltrox is planning a small pancake-style lens that is 20mm f/4.5 that will cover full frame and autofocus for an affordable price of around $150 that will outperform the original trio of APS-C lenses
• Viltrox will focus on AF lenses going forward and making their lenses smaller
• Stay tuned about L mount lenses but nothing to announce now
• Viltrox will announce a new 135mm f/1.8 AF lenses that will cover full-frame and be considered a lab series which will be above the pro line of lenses
• LAB Series > PRO
• Viltrox plans to release 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm f/1.4 lenses that are AF and cover full frame under the LAB Series badge
