DC.watch (google translation here) posted the interview with the designers of the Olympus 300mm PRO lens. There are a lot of technical details. Interesting enough the original lens had no in lens stabilization. And they had to do quite some changes to add in lens stabilization afterwards.

We got info from a trusted source saying that Panasonic will announce a new entry-level MFT camera and a new “premium” lens within the next 3-4 weeks.
To recap: Olympus will very soon announce the E-PL8 and maybe the first of their f/1.2 PRO Zuiko lens series (25mm f/1.2). Panasonic announcement will follow shortly after.
