Olympus says they are considering to make a “bright super telephoto lens” and other super fast lenses.
The Swedish Magazine Fotosidan (google translation here) interviewed Setsuya Kataoka (General manager Olympus Imaging Corp). And there is some talk about the future Olympus products:
1) Right now Olympus is considering whether to develop a bright super telephoto lens, or a super-telephoto zoom with a little lower brightness.
2) When the pro series is getting full, it may be necessary to develop a bit more specialized or extraordinary lenses, such as lenses with ultra-high brightness.
3) No Tilt Shift lenses are coming
4) Working to update the IS for new astro-photography features.
Let’s go with the f/1.2 and f/1.0 prime lenses Oly! We already saw your patents on those ;)
