Updated Olympus lens road map - 8-25mm f4, finally a pro macro, ... does it make you want to stick with Olympus?

[Mike Wingate]

The statement is very prosaic, and gives one confidence in continuity, but a couple of specifics would have been more encouraging.

I don’t want to alarm but I was just on the Olympus website
In the lens line up
The 60 macro was missing

Right because it is not on sale like most of the other ones. Makes me think these sell pretty well, especially during the pandemic where people might be trying to do more photography at home and in their yards...

I have opened another thread about the 1.2 Pro primes, especially the 17mm Pro, which was not only excluded from the recent european 2020 holiday promotion, but was also more or less delisted by a couple of dealers, including large ones like Amazon. Fast forward to 2021 and the lens is available again with most dealers, even Amazon. So it was nothing but a false alert. Even if the 60mm Macro wouldn't be available right now, it wouldn't mean it has been discontinued by OM-D.

It's on my deals page (local, on my computer), and you can have it for a mere $2600 plus shipping and getting handled...
