Image of the teaser (single gif frames megerd into one picture by Dicahub)
If you visit the gopc.olympus-imaging.com site you can spot two animated GIF teasers for the new PEN-F. It suggests there will be a silver PEN-F too because the yesterday PEN-F leaked imaged has a Black dial. The teaser shows the silver version.
One more teaser image:

This is the world’s first image of the new PEN-F! The camera we first “rumored” months ago. The image got leaked via Digicameinfo. The cameras has the 75mm Zuiko and a small grip. Lot of dials on the top and the integrated viewfinder in the corner can be seen too.
Those are the specs we got from our sources:

The low resolution of the PEN-F leaked image shows a lens that could be the current 75mm f/1.8 Zuiko. But some of our readers do believe this is not the same 75mm lens.
So just for fun place your bet:

The German blog Pen And Tell posted the first unboxing pictures. He also shared his first impressions on that post (google translation here). He compared the new lens with the [shoplink 22405 ebay]”older” 300mm f/2.8 FT lens[/shoplink]:
The old Zwo-Eight’s is allowed to sit comfortable on his throne. The new f/4.0 lens is indeed superior on mobile shots, but when it comes to high-end and plastic reproduction, the f/2.8 FT can comfortably is still superior. Glass is simply irreplaceable.
The new f/4.0 MFT is a high-tech product that pushes the limits. The f/2.8 FT is a lens for the soul. And the biceps.
In summary: Reinhard thinks the new lens strong selling points are the quality of shot handheld. It’s a way more mobile lens than the FT version. But for ultimate quality and bokeh the FT lens is still slightly superior.
