It is rumoured that Olympus will announce a new hardened version
of the E-x 4/3 system for rugged field use.
This system's primary target user is the landscape photographer
that would use pack animals to reach distant locations.
Complete with it's own leather bag that attaches to the saddle,
this complete package will hold the 300/2.8 and a tripod in
special pockets that are well protected from the knocks, snags
and weather conditions that would normally damage equipment.
Holding to the standard naming convention utilized by most
Japanese electronics manufactures, the product name is
"Outdoor-Rugged". Hence it is called the E-OR.
Donkey not included.
