The following is a reply I received today (finally) from Olympus Japan. I
had asked if the line was being discontinued and if there were going to be
any new products in the forseeable future. This was done in the context of
using the cameras/lenses to earn a livelihood. I had asked for a "straight
forward" response and this is the result. Believe that more is said by what
is left out.
Also spoke to Carsen Group today who are the Canadian Distributor. Same
idea as in the e-mail sent to Japan. Their response was that there is only
"limited availability" as there is far more interest in point and shoot and
digital. When I asked what they had in stock right now he admitted to only
2 bodies and no lenses. Ordering requires a 4+ week wait. All stock they do
get comes from Oly US.
