43rumors reports two news about future Olympus products:

1. Olympus will launch a completely new kind of PEN line in Spring 2016
2. Olympus will launch the new 300mm f/4.0 PRO IS lens soon (probably in 2 months or so).

What else can we expect from Olympus in 2016? Well, Olympus managers said fast prime lenses are high on the priority list. And it’s also easy to guess the new E-M1markII will be launched at Photokina in September!

Back in September Sony stated eight new FE lenses would be announced between now and Spring 2016. Time to see those!
