If you are not following LeicaRumors, this is what Leica announced today:
Olympus filed a patent in Japan for a 12-120mm f/4-5.6 lens with several different variations:
SLR Magic plans to release a new 25mm T0.95 lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras and a new 35mm T0.95 lens for APS-C sized cameras (I assume for Sony NEX). The new lenses will be on the same quality level as the full frame SLR Magic HyperPrime 50mm T0.95 lens, which looks and performs very similar to the $11,000 Leica Noctilux - see also the sample images in this post:
The Lens/Focus Shifter is a low budget 'follow focus' product which attaches to lenses with circumferences from 176mm to 308mm, or lenses like the 50mm f/1.8 to the larger zoom lenses. The great thing about this product is that it attaches to these lenses without the need of rails, with the simple attachment mechanism it simply slides onto any size lens, making it a very flexible, low priced and innovative product. Using this product will definitely improve focusing skills for photography and cinematography, as critical focus points can be pre-focused and marked with the marker pen to ensure the focus puller/camera operator reaches those critical focus points during filming or taking photos.
It's currently available for $45 on Kickstarter:
Today Olympus announced the previously leaked TG-1 iHS Tough camera. This is probably the best rugged camera on the market today.

Amazon is already taking pre-orders for the TG-1 iHS for $399.
