I already reported on the two upcoming Olympus lenses: M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.2 PRO and 45mm f/1.2 PRO – both were already registered with various government agencies. I expect the official announcement to be for the PhotoPlus show that will take place next week in NYC.
Olympus already has one fast PRO lens (25mm f/1.2). Olympus is also rumored to announce a new camera.
Here are some additional leaked pictures of both lenses:

We have just uploaded 4 videos of our team taking pictures with the Y35 working prototype and those sample pictures taken from it. Please rest assured we do have a prototype that is working!
For the last couple of days, the whole YASHICA team has been spending all extra effort during the weekends to make sure we work out the best solution in delivering our first stretch goal: F2. As well as exploring the possibility of adding a larger sensor or metal body which most backers are excited about. This may result in oversight and delayed in responding your comments, we are really sorry about this and will commit being as responsive as we can in the future, but we kindly ask for your patience if sometime we can’t answer your question immediately.
