[shoplink 56524 ebay]50mm12[/shoplink] Image on top shows the [shoplink 56524 ebay]OM 50mm f/1.2 lens (here on eBay)[/shoplink]

I am now 100% sure Olympus will launch a new f/1.2 prime lens line at the CP+ show in late February! I have no info yet when those lenses will actually ship in stores but trusted sources said Olympus will disclose a clear roadmap at CP+.

I am working to get the details and specs of those lenses. Exciting!

Bit of history: Olympus OM system had two f/1.2 lenses: The [shoplink 56524 ebay]50mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 56525 ebay]55mm f/1.2 (here on eBay)[/shoplink].
