Venus Optics has a teaser on Facebook about a new Laowa lens that will be announced at Photokina. The description and hashtags used could indicate to something related to E-mount:
“A NativE SurprisE. To be revealed in Photokina. #photokina #laowa #surprisE #nativE #compact”
Venus Optics currently has several different Loawa lenses designed for mirrorless and DSLR cameras.

Press release:
In this new video Billy from the Fuji Guys mentioned that a new Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 lens will be announced “later on” (check the 9:37 mark from the video above). The new 50mm lens, together with the Fujinon XF 23 and XF 35 f/2 lenses, will be part of the so called “designer series”.
