Develop such lens may be expensive, but it is just ONE lens not a system or
a series of lenses and they have no time pressure on doing that, they could
do it slowly. I think they just want to settle some noise from our OM users
and give us some hope for the future ;-) Aren't we all very happy to tell
others that OM is still alive, Olympus is still supporting them by issuing
such a great lens !?
