Carl Zeiss is planning to release new lenses and accessories at Photokina. No further details were provided, but one of the lenses will probably be the already leaked Zeiss Distagon ZF 1.4/35 ZF.2. Carl Zeiss claims that this will be the first time they will be releasing “accessories”.

Ricoh filed a patent application 2010-175627 (published August 12, 2010, filled January 27, 2009) in Japan for what appears to be a new 35mm f/1.8 Macro lens.
