Last week I got the pricing info of the new Olympus 40-15mm f/2.8 PRO lens info for Australia ($1,499 AUSD). Now a US source told me the lens is expected to ship in Q1 2015. price will be in between $1,200 and $1,400 in US.

I hope to get some more info about the other lenses too. Like the 7-14mm, 9mm f/1.8 (if true) and the superfast lens prime.

Official Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 PRO description (via http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/em1_brochure)

A couple of weeks ago I told you that Samyang will soon launch the 50mm f/1.5 lens for the Micro Four Thirds system. And now according to CanonWatch Samyang will also launch a 50mm Cine lens with a crazy f/1.2 aperture (for many different mounts). The lens will be of very high quality for a very low price. This is a good news for all GH4 owners and video shooters amongst us!

P.S.: There are already many MFT Cine lenses from Samyang/Rokinon and a list can be seen at Bhphoto (Click here).

Olympus will announce the E-PL7 on August 30 and it will be the only real new camera (there will be a new E-M1 Silver edition too). A 43rumors reader sent me this size comparison picture between the E-Pl7 and the E-P3.

I am wondering what will happen now with the Olympus E-PM and E-P line…

Here are more new leaked pictures of the soon to be announced Olympus E-Pl7!

Like you know there is not other new PEN to come. One PEN E-Pl7 to rule them all! The specs are also wll known. Just check the E-M10 spec list to know what the E-Pl7 can do :)

Thanks Digicameinfo!

P.S.: There is also a Silver E-M1 to come, two new PRO zooms and a great E-M1 firmware update. Announcement likely on August 30.
