Originally posted by JPT I've posted this list before, but I received a lens survey from Ricoh Japan late last year. When I look at the roadmap they've shown, I'm thinking back to that survey and wondering if they are items from that list. The nomenclature may be relevant to interpret what they are talking about in the roadmap.
Key
大口径 Large aperture - They are using this only for 1.4 primes
超広角 Ultra wide - They are using this for 20mm and 24mm
広角 Wide - They are using this for 28mm and 35mm
標準 Standard - They are using this for 50mm only
中望遠 Medium telephoto - They are using this for 85mm and 135mm

So my guess is we're getting a 35mm f1.8 (maybe the Tamron), a 50mm f1.4, an 85mm f1.4, a 24mm f1.4 and the fisheye zoom.

at least it is clear they mean F1.4 By large diameter.
