I got excited ( then worried I’d done something whilst under the influence )
Strange - why are e-infinity and HDEW no longer listing the EM1 X?
They don’t show ‘awaiting stock‘ or similar - just no mention at all?

I’ve never seen the EM1x for sale at Hdew, perhaps it has been and I’ve missed it. I don’t know why I even visit the website - I have too much gear [emoji23]
Me to ,send me that M1X to test out
Well I'm enjoying using the EM1x alongside my Canon gear.
So I thought I would post a couple of images
Taken with it
.... I bought both my E-M1X bodies from HDEW several months apart. I house-bricked one when updating the Firmware and they replaced it no questions asked and within 7 days.
I am sure you already know this :

.... Jeff, if we weren't under lockdown and we lived closer to each other I would meet up and let you have a go with my second body.
EM1X
£1649 at Jessops. No stock though.
Really good shot robinJackdaw in my garden on a very cold morning, hence the Long Johns! :

Interesting that quite a few see this hit and miss with the focus no matter what you try perhaps this lens will sort it out time will tell .
I like that comp. Kind of social distancing or just not talking to each other.

The article linked to Japanese but the Google translate that kicks in on MS Edge seems to make a reasonable job

.... Regarding AF, this is in line with separate Olympus claims that this new lens can focus "25% faster than the ED 300mm Pro" which I read a few weeks ago.
@Box Brownie, you're not doing a very good job of advising me to be Captain Sensible and not buy this lens.
Everytime I shoot on my ED 100-400mm+1.4x, which is every day (over 500 images yesterday and about 30 today) I imagine what the 150-400mm+1.25x would be offering me as an advantage by comparison. I am still enjoying my 100-400mm though.
No camera or lens is perfect but you really have to admire Olympus for their efforts to innovate. It's in their genes and history and I don't see that changing adversely in the new ownership structure.

Have you got an Android phone?.... How do I get a translation please? I'm on a Mac.
Have you got an Android phone?
If so the Chrome browser has Google translate available ~ click the 3dots to get the menu list and translate is there.... HTH?
.... Thanks but I only have Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, Mac mini all loaded with Safari browser. But I'll check out an Apple forum for help.
