Francis,
I agree with you, that Olympus must have something new to advertise. It was
what I was thinking of when I wrote my message, I did not point that out
however. Still, Richard has a point. I think that the telephoto lenses
mentioned (180/2, 250/2 and 350/2.8) very well can be advertised today.
However, your point and argue of new development and new products are the basic
way of get back into the game. (A question: what is R&D?)
