Thingyfy currently offfers two Micro Four Thirds pinhole primes. And now they just announced the development of the world’s first Pinhole 18-36mm zoom lens. No details were shared about price and shipment start.
The lens has been spotted by ePhotozine at the Photography Show 2019 (image on top in the center between the current two primes)

Having done all my other projects in HD or UHD, I decided to take a look at what Cinema 4K offers (I know, late to the party). I shot footage at both 23.98 and 24p, and while I can’t quantify the reason, I definitely prefer the latter. Although the test shows some weakness, in particular the handling of the large LCD screens in Penn Station, I really like the wider aspect ratio of C4K, and overall I’m very happy with the results. Not something I would consider for paid gigs unless requested, but for personal anamorphic projects, looking forward to shooting a lot more footage.”
ePhotozine spotted the Panasonic 10-25mm f/1.7 lens at the Photography Show 2019 in Birmingham.
The lens extends slightly when you zoom to 25mm, and the closest focusing distance is 28cm. The lens on display is a working pre-production sample, so we were unable to take sample photo using the lens, however we can tell you that the lens works very well on a Panasonic Lumix G9, and focus was rapid. The aperture ring on the lens we used is clickless, which means it’s silent and can be smoothly adjusted, perhaps indicating that the lens is specifically suited (or rather designed) with video work in mind. The lens zooms smoothly through the zoom range, and has a 77mm filter thread.
