DPReview have got hold of the lens and have written a review with sample pictures. Looks good!!!

Actually ... scrolling along the images it looks very good!!!

Everyone knows it's good, actually getting hold of one is the hard part.

Apparently Bristol Cameras and SRS have had an inital allocation, and it's easily available from DigitalRev if you're willing to pay about £50 over a UK store.

What's odd, is that I spotted two Olympus ads in magazines for this lens yesterday, a bit odd considering it's not available and nobody seems to know when it will be available.

I pre-ordered through Warehouse Express a couple months ago, not heard anything yet.

I knew someone on here had ordered one! Jacobs are showing that they have delivery of 5-7 days but not sure that is true. What a pain!

Had a virtual conversation with WE but they said they didn't have a date for when they would be in.

Any updates on this? Seems to be widely available in the US now.
