Olympus is on the verge to announce two new prime lenses with a fast aperture of f/1.2. The two new Olympus f/1.2 lenses expected to arrive sometime in late 2016.
As we have posted earlier, one of them will be the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 model. This optic is on the horizon from the beginning of 2016. It will be the first lens in a series of fast primes, which will most likely join the company’s PRO-series.
Olympus PRO series lenses are freezeproof, splashproof, and dustproof. We can clearly expect the Olympus 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens announcement at Photokina 2016.
Olympus Rumored to Announce Two f/1.2 Prime Lenses in Late 2016
There have been rumors before that Olympus is allegedly working on several ultra-bright prime lenses for Micro Four Thirds system cameras.
The first in the series is most likely be the M.Zuiko 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens. This prime model has been developed to work with the new PEN-F camera. The autofocus speed will be 30% faster when used with the PEN-F than with the OM-D E-M1 camera.
The previously rumored Olympus bright prime lenses will offer 12mm, 25mm, and 50mm focal lengths. Let’s take a look at the possible Olympus lenses for the second half of 2016.
The upcoming Olympus lenses:
- Olympus 25mm f/1.2 PRO lens
- Another f/1.2 prime lens with PRO designation
- Olympus 30mm f/3.5 macro lens
- Olympus 12-100mm f/4.0 lens
Trusted sources were reporting that the Olympus E-M1 Mark II announcement will happen at Photokina 2016 event in September. We might see one of these Olympus f/1.2 lens in this major announcement.
