Hi-Lows-Note spotted a new Sigma patent which describes the exact optical design of the Leica 50-200mm f/2.8-4.0 MFT lens. On top you can see the patented design and below the design of the Leica lens. I see no differences:

Dpreview had a chat with Olympus. Once more they confirm they have no plan to move to Full Frame, that the E-M5III successor is coming and that more high quality lenses woll be announced before the 150-400mm lens launch in 2020:
E-M1X sales:
“E-M1X Pre-sales orders are at expected levels and we have had a good start worldwide.”
Professional MFT photographers:
“Actually, we are seeing that there are many photographers who started using the Micro Four Thirds as their second camera, are going on to use it as their main camera.”
Lens roadmap:
“We plan to launch several lenses every year and, of course, there will be releases of lenses before the 150-400mm PRO launch in 2020. So, please look out for a more information about our forthcoming product releases.”
Technology vs Marketing:
“As you know, we are a very R&D-orientated company: we focus on the technology which is necessary. We’re not from the marketing world, so we can look at these technologies solely from the perspective of whether they’re valuable for photographers.”
E-M5II successor:
“The E-M5 line is important: we can reassure users we are planning a successor model.”
No surprise to hear that :)
The past few weeks Olympus made it clear that they ruled out both possibilites: Full Frame and Medium Format. MFT it is!
