I remember starting a thread in 2012 about what a year for photographic gear it would be.
It’s 2018 and this year’s Photokina show is shaping up to be the most exciting it’s been in years.
Already announced products:

Sigma 28mm f/1.4
Sigma 40mm f/1.4
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8

56mm f/1.4
Rumoured:

I’m sure there are many more items I’ve missed but it seems like there’s something for every brand/system buyer although the new products do tend to look a bit high end.
