New Ricoh Lens Patents (4/3 and APS-C)

The 14mm lens is for 4/3" sized sensors, whilst the 19mm lens is for APS-C. Both are equivalent to roughly about 28mm in field of view of 135 full frame.

So, what is Ricoh planning? Are these lenses for GXR or just as the lenses for fixed focal GR new models? Who knows? Nonetheless, there is still no new 135 Full Frame lens patent of any, no matter from Pentax nor Ricoh (both of which now belong to the same camera division of Ricoh anyway).
