The rumor mill suggested several high end FX lenses which didn't pop up ... so far at least.
IMHO it has been comparatively silent on the Nikon and Canon side lately. Possibly a side effect of the Tsunami but I feel there's more about it.

Hmm.. Canon had its share of new announcements/releases last year (revamp of the big tele range, 8-15mm fisheye zoom, 70-300 L), same amount of new lenses as any year really...
Nikon has been very busy too (85mm f1.4, 35mm f1.4, 24mm f1.4, 50mm f1.8, 85mm f1.8 DX, now 40mm DX macro)... so not sure there is anything out of the ordinary, really. Of course, the tsunami has had an impact in schedules, but I expect new announcements around september, like every year?
