To anyone wondering....I wrote to Olympus customer service asking when they thought the 75 1.8 would be available for purchase in the US. They said they hope to have it available by the end of August.
I put in my order about July 15th, back when B&H was saying it would arrive on the 20th. I'd certainly like to get mine by mid-August. Apparently it's worth a month's wait, but I'm impatient!
