Digicameinfo reports that there will be a new Fuji announcement on February 5. But Fuji will only announce the release of the X-A2 and XQ2 on the Japanese market. No “real” new product will be announced on that day.
Today Samyang announced the new 135mm f/2.0 lens. There is also a Cine version with T/2.2 aperture. The lens comes in X-mount version too and price is yet not official. Specs and images can be seen here:

A russian public agency for wifi device registration shows a list of upcoming new Fuji compact cameras. There are two documents and here are the names of the cameras:
・Novocert（FinePix XP80、S9800、S9900W）
・Novocert（FinePix XP81、XP85、S9950W、S9850，S9750）
So what’s the news you ask? Well, I can’t see any X-series camera amongst them. But keep faith, the trusted source, who predicted an X-camera soon, has a hit rate of 100% ;).

One of their current lenses for mirrorless MFT and E-mount systems is the 19mm f/2.8.
CEO Kazuto Yamaki said at DSLRmagazine (google translation here) that the mirrorless system camera market will grow further. And he promised Sigma will expand their offer of lenses for those systems.
“[google translated] I’m pretty sure the market for CSC will grow in the future, do not know how, but we have the belief that we must support as many possible systems and already have a few goals for this segment and we would expand that product line. “
Will there also be some Fuji lenses? Officially Sigma is still denying upcoming X-mount lenses. Maybe they should take a look at the Fujifilm X-T1 sales figures and they would see that Fuji isn’t that super-small niche anymore.
New products are likely to be announced in February at the CP+ show. Fingers crossed to get some “cheap” but still good high quality lenses also for Fuji. Do not forget that Sigma can also make superb lenses like the 50mm ART which is almost as good as the 4 times as expensive Zeiss Otus. Just to say that, on paper, Sigma could match the Fuji X lens optical quality.
