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.

The huge 300mm PRO lens box image by PenAndTell.

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.
