Olympus (Click here) updated the Zuiko PRO page which now includes the yet not released 300mm f/4.0 and 7-14mm f/2.8 lenses. You can also see the optical design of those:
Can’t wait to know how much we have to $$$ for those!!!
I think this is the first time a company updates the camera manual including the new firmware features info. The “new” E-M1 manual can be downloaded here:

Thanks J-Marc for finding the news!
43rumros Steve sent me that picture from the Photo Festa 2014. You see the Olympus 300mm f/4.0 size compared to the [shoplink 48604 ebay]Canon (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and [shoplink 48605 ebay]Nikon (here on eBay)[/shoplink] lenses. That’s the price and size you pay for Full Frame lenses :)
And also DC.watch posted some pics of the event. So here they are:
UPDATE: I corrected the ebay links ot the Canon and Nikon 600mm (and not 300mm) lenses.

An Overlooked Very Cool Feature of the Olympus E-M1 That I Had Previously Overlooked! (Thewanderinglensman)
Spencer: “Just wanted to share a short film I shot with my Gh4 Using the panasonic 12-35mm and my 7-14 occasionally: https://vimeo.com/103380910”
Tom: “I hope it is ok to use this form to send you a link to a video I made about micro jitter in the 35-100. This seems to be a very common issue that can likely be fixed with a firmware fix, if Panasonic bothers to do so. Reports about similar issues are on the 14-140, and previously on 12-35 f.28 until Panasonic did issue a fix for that: https://vimeo.com/106895202”

Marc: “I wonder if you’d be kind enough to feature my blog on one of your round ups as my photography blog has been shortlisted for a Blog North Award here in the UK. All of my work is made using Olympus digital cameras (a Pen and an OM-D) so hoped your readers might like to vote for me! http://marcprovins.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/squeeze.html”
Lightsnow (Click here) developed two(!) custom E-M1 firmware updates:
Of course you have to be aware that this is nto an official firmware from Olympus. It’s your choice to take the risk or not. Lightsnow also promised to add soon 4K recording to the E-M1:
“Next up would be a higher framerate, higher bitrate and of cause the 4k feature itself.”
Sounds exciting…if it works!!!

Paniko: “I’d like to share my last video I did the day before Olympus released the “NO4K firmware update” for the OMD E-M1 :) http://youtu.be/tszjsd9kTAY. I’m relatively new to video, but shooting it with a OMD E-M1 does not let myself down and (for now) i’m not feeling the need to buy another camera just for that.”
