Leica 100-400mm vs the new Olympus 150-400mm size comparison

Share

Dpreview published the following image to whow the big size difference between the currently available Panasonic-Leica 100-400mm f/4.0-6.3 lens and the new Olympus 150-400mm f/4.5 lens:

It’s expected that a constant aperture lens is much bigger than the Leica. Moreover the Olympus has a handy built-in 1.2x converter. I hope they don’t go crazy with the price…I expect something around $2,500…?

Olympus Japan confirms the PEN-F has been discontinued

Share

And today also Olympus Japan confirmed the PEN-F has been discontinued. I repeat it once more that I have heard of NO PEN-F II coming any time soon. And if you read on other rumors sites that a PEN-FII has been registered this is a a FAKE news as the registration has only been made to extend the rights on the current PEN-F model.

The fact that we are seeing the PEN-F discontinued before a new model has been announced make me worry a lot for the future of the PEN-F. I have heard from reliable sources that PEN-F sales did not meet the expected sales target…

Reminder: Don’t trust the other “rumor sites” saying a new Olympus PEN-F camera has been registered. Explanation WHY there is no new PEN-F camera registration:
1) You don’t trust us? Look at 100% reliable Nokishita that did not report this registration because there is NO NEW PEN-F registration!
2) The current PEN-F registration would have expired in January that’s why they made a new registration (with new PLG ID number) to extend it.
3) Olympus registers NEW cameras with “IMxxx” code as usual!
