Additional details on the new DSLR lenses:
The current Fuji X-Pro1 model
The Fuji X-Pro2 or a new Fuji medium format digital cameras were not announced at Photokina as some websites suggested (I never believed those rumor which is why I did not reported them here). Here is some Fuji X-Pro2 info from admiringlight.com who interviewed Torben Hondong from Fujifilm Germany at Photokina:
Samyang announced also a "photography" version of the V-DSLR 50mm T1.5 AS UMC lens: the Samyang 50mm f/1.4 AS UMC will be available in Nikon F, Canon AF+M, Pentax, Sony A+E, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds mounts (check pricing and availability).

The current Fujifilm X-Pro1 sensor
Fujifilm remind us again that they do not have any plans for a full frame camera for now:
Oishi said Fuji plans to launch further X-series cameras, and that there is no current plan for a full-frame model. But he pointed out that Fuji is a camera developer, so it may be a possibility at some future date. (via AP)
Fuji has provided conflicting information in the past on their future full frame camera plans:
Canon is working on a new 100-400mm lens that will replace the current EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L. Many of the future Canon lenses will come with a Diffractive Optics DO element (see previously filed patents):
"A new 400mm supertele is just the beginning. Canon also says it plans a replacement for its 100-400mm zoom and new compact models using diffractive optics." (via Cnet)
Here is some more information on Diffractive Optics (DO) from Canon USA:
At the 2014 Photokina Tokina has two prototype lenses on display:
