There has been a leak inside the holland online-shop Fotobooms.nl showing the new Olympus lens 12-16mm F2.8-4.0 SWD (lens diameter=72mm) Price: € 889,00. The picture has now been removed! If you visit the Fotobooms.nl website you can read “geen foto”…no foto!
UPDATE: Probably only a typo error. The image shows the Olympus 12-60mm lens.

Very interesting, but why such a lens?
The 12-60 covers same range (and more), has same aperture and is swd too, not even saying it is dust & water proof…
For the price, even if it would be sharpier, who would not buy the 12-60 instead? (super high grade users should already have the 7-14, covering the 14-16 pretty well, even if not swd).
I’m really curious to be on October 31 🙂
sixteen or sixty – who cares ? …
some one heard wrong and typed wrong ..
a pictures and all other specs are same as 12-sixty/2.8-4.0 SWD ( including filter size )
i guess you can lower the FT of this one to FT-1/2 … no more then this ..
I think that it is a typo error between sixteen and sixty !
There’s no new lens here, just the old very good 12-60 f2.8/4.
a 12-16 (equi. 24-32) at f2.8/4 will be a completely useless 0.5x zoom… so
yeah it seems a bit useless lens, especially with that aperture
That is definitely a 12-60mm.
