I got some more tidbits about the PEN-F from a trusted source:

Olympus Pen F – I have tried the camera and it is great.  You have got the specs right but it is NOT weather and dust proof.  Great viewfinder and a new patent on the rubber eyecup – no more lost eyecups. The Pen F also comes with a small flash more or less like the EM5 mkII.

The camera will be announced on January 27 at 5-6am London time. Follow the live blogging here on 43rumors!

Robin Wong about the new 300mm lens: “It is the sharpest lens Olympus has ever manufactured”

Robin Wong (click here) tested the new Olympus 300mm lens and writes:

Using the M.Zuiko 300mm F4 PRO lens was quite an eye-opening experience as the thrill and awe I went through reviewing the image quality produced by this lens. There is not much to write about what I dislike. Here is the sharpest lens Olympus has ever manufactured, and adding to that the introduction of even more powerful version of the already incredible 5-Axis IS system. 
This may not be the lens for every one (certainly not me), but if you do find a need for a 300mm lens in your type of photography, I think the 300mm is the answer to your prayers.

Need for speed? Support the 50mm f/0.75 and 42mm f/0.75 lens Kickstarter project!

Marc came up with a new project for those of you that absolutely want to have that Barry Lyndon super speed look:

We’re a small fine mechanics company from Germany and have worked on these two ultra high speed lenses for the last year or so. The result is one full frame Leica M mount lens, perfect for mirrorless cameras of any system, and one dedicated lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Both are now ready and so we’ve started a kickstarter campaign to make them available.
I’m sure your readers are curious to find out more or even get one for themselves.
Here’s where people can find our project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1745517054/50-mm-f-075-the-fastest-photographic-lens-in-the-w
