(FT5) There is still one more thing to come from Olympus….stay tuned!
OK, now I am sure that Olympus will soon announce one more thing along the already coming 17mm f/1.8 prime lens! I am working on the specs…but need some help from sources: Can you confirm me the specs and price and announcement date of that “thing”? So that I won’t make any mistakes. You can contact me anonymously by just dropping a message via contact form you see here on the right. Thanks!!!

7 months ago |f/2, 7-20mm in 300g is impossible. However, I’d love a 2/7 prime… (given that the optical performance is stellar)

Breaking news like this will usually be accompanied by (Updated) in the original post.

I can’t see Olympus releasing a FF mirrorless, but SONY can for sure!!

7 months ago |A translucent mirror is still a mirror.
It still has a flange distance as long as most DSLRs. DSLRs have a translucent mirror anyway, it’s just an optical view finder (where the SLT lacks).
It still means a FF is possible in the future, making lenses of the same quality, smaller.
