They will likely fail to exist for some time. We're still trying to
unpack and store 150 boxes of stuff in a brand new house that, as of yet,
doesn't even have a single curtain on a window. Privacy is provided by
stacks of moving boxes placed in front of the windows. :-)
Daughter and family will be here the day after Christmas. Not much time
to get some living space together. I doubt they'll want to live behind the
boxes for very long. :-)

So long as I don't see the photos your new lenses won't exist ;-)
Have fun :-)

The m.Zuiko 9-18 and 70-300 arrived a day early today. So far I've
taken a grand total of 3 shots. 2 with the 9-18 at 9 and 18mm and one
with the 70-300 at 300mm. The wides were to show how much of my back
porch's screen enclosure can be captured and the width at the 9mm end
surprised me. The 300mm shot was of a roofer across the street just
finishing the roof on one of the many houses being constructed around
me. Despite being perhaps 150 feet away I have a very clear shot of
his face. The fine details in his cap (the mesh on the back side) are
not clear but maybe they would be if taken on a tripod. I was very
surprised at how the IBIS visibly steadied the image in the
viewfinder. I assume the other lenses must show the same but I'd
never actually noticed it before.
Anyhow the light is fading away and I still have numerous boxes to
unpack and try to find a place for their contents before I can go play
photographer again.
The biggest surprise to me about the lenses was the extension of the
9-18. I'd never seen it in other than its collapsed state. The
surprise was that I didn't know there was a collapsed state. One has
to twist the zoom collar to open it up for action and then slide a
lock lever to collapse if for storage. When opened it is always at
nearly double its collapsed length no matter what focal length is
chosen although it is shortest by roughly 6mm between 14 and 18mm.
