NEW? Or just a tweak of the current range?


6th Feb 2014 roadmap is at: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/japan/products/lens/images/645_Mount_Lens.pdf and most appear on that and the roadmap in your link is the same with te date removed.

I think it just a case of lenses that were previously only available in Japan being sold elsewhere and being put on a 645 roadmap

No need. I understand that the new FF DLSR will shake the APS lens to cover FF ...

These are just the lenses that were available only in Japan and Europe. They have just decided to sell them to the rest of the world again.
