By PR admin | Published: May 1, 2012

Olympus sent this “teaser” to Techradar. I think the two nuts represent the toughness of the already leaked new rugged Olympus TG-1 iHS camera that should be announced soon. I cannot think of any other associations between nuts and cameras, can you?

Olympus filed patent for 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm and 22mm f/2.8 pancake lenses
