The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25X IS PRO lens is delayed again... the second time around... because of a large number of customers who ordered the lens… Just another entry for the photo gear wall of shame that has "greatly exceeded" expectations. Here is the translated press release:
