Voigtlander announced two new lenses today. The Voigtlander Nokton 1,2/35mm (Leica M-mount) was already reported here last week (the actual aperture is f/1.2 instead of the rumored f/1.1).
The second lens (pictured above) is a new Voigtländer SL II Heliar Classic 1,8/75mm version for Canon and Nikon:
CP+ day two updates are coming from a PhotoRumors reader who was at the show in Yokohama, Japan:
“Show small compared to Photokina and PMA. I think even PDN+ is bigger. Nikon booth was a big yawn, as was Canon. Lots of interest at the Fuji X100 stand (a 30+ minute line for hands-on look-see-touch-feel). Sony stand was busy. Sigma and Pentax too.”
The pictures include the upcoming Ricoh GXR with Leica-M module, various Sony NEX lenses and prototypes and the Fuji X100 camera:
Thanks B!
Update: Sigma has posted some SD1 sample images on their website.
I was expecting to hear some updates on the Sigma SD1 during the CP+ show in Japan. The camera was initially scheduled to be released around February of 2011. I hope this will not turn into another almost 2 years delay like the SD15.
The Sigma SD will have a 46 MP(4,800×3,200×3 layers) 24×16mm APS-C X3 sensor and dual TRUE (Three-layer Responsive Ultimate Engine) II image processing engine. There were some rumors that Sigma is working on a full-frame version of that sensor. The SD1 will not have video, but they may consider it in future models.
At the CP+ show Pentax showed a roadmap for their 645 format lenses. There is a medium telephoto zoom for 2012, a standard zoom for 2013 and another medium telephoto zoom for 2014.

The first day of the CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show is now over. Here is some video coverage for some of the new products introduced at the show:
In addition to the E-mount 30mm f/2.8 lens prototype, Sigma announced that it will start the development of new Micro Four Thirds lenses.

After Sigma endorsed Sony’s decision to let other manufacturers produce E-mount lenses, they showed their first prototype of a E-mount 30mm f/2.8 lens for Sony NEX system at the CP+ show in Japan.

At the CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show in Japan Sony will also display a prototype of the upcoming Alpha 77 camera (replacement of the current A700) which will have translucent mirror technology, new Exmor APS HD CMOS sensors, full HD video (AVCHD) with continuous AF. The camera is expected to be released later in the year (before Cliq).
Other Sony prototypes: new flash, battery grip and 500mm f/4 lens which will have new control buttons, incl. 15x image magnification:
The above NEX roadmap shows that Sony will be releasing new 24mm (Zeiss), 30mm, 50mm and 55-200mm lenses for their E-mount system in 2011. For 2012 there should be a new high performance standard zoom G lens, a wide angle zoom and another mid-telephoto lens.
During the CP+ show Olympus will display a concept M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lens to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Zuiko lens brand. This looks like the first step from Olympus towards a high end digital PEN model which is rumored to be announced by the end of the year. Read the whole Zuiko brand story after the break:
