Tokina filed a patent for a 70-200mm f/4 full frame lens. This is most likely the AT-X 70-200mm f/4 PRO FX VCM-S lens that was displayed during the 2013 Photokina show but was never officially released.
Olympus filed patents for two M.Zuiko macro lenses for Micro Four Thirds: 70mm f/2.8 (left) and 100mm f/4.5 (right).
Olympus also filed patents for 15mm f/2, 17mm f/1.8 and 17mm f/2.8 pancake lenses.
This is the first leaked image of the entry level Fuji X-A1 camera that will be announced in the next few weeks. The new model will not have a X-Trans APS-C sensor and it will be sold at major retail stores at a low price. On the outside, the X-A1 looks identical to the X-M1.
The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM A1 ART lens is currently $120 off on eBay with free shipping (via 47th. Street Photo). The regular price of the lens is $899 and this is a new, not a refurbished product. Canon version is also available for the same price.
Sigma recently announced 4 years warranty on all of their products.
Update: they changed the price back to normal (cheap eBay trick).

In interview with SFgate, Lytro's CEO Jason Rosenthal promised a series of new “breakthrough” products in 2014:
“We’re working on what we think will be our Model S" (referring to the latest Tesla model that earned a nearly perfect score from Consumer Reports) “We have a packed product roadmap for next year, we’ll introduce multiple what I think are just breakthrough products. I’m super excited and the world will be as well.”
Lytro added several new features to their first light-field camera (priced $399-$499), but many (including myself) are not convinced that this is the camera of the future. Let's see what they will announce in 2014.
