2nd batch is 1 month after first batch it seems...

2nd batch is 1 month after first batch it seems...

i don't think so, someone mentioned the last batch is after 30 Nov then we'll receive by end of Jan. that means 2nd batch will not be too far from 1st batch.

eh? i thought club members get 2x points as stated in the website ? for new sign ups, there will also be $50 voucher to offset online purchase. makes the $88 fee quite worth it combined with other discounts, particularly if one wants to buy oly accessories.

Just received a call from Olympus saying that my order would come in at end of January.. Mine is the second wave of pre-order.. But if my memory serves me right, it may come slightly earlier just like the E-M1..

A courier just delivered a parcel from Olympus, that is supposed to contain the B + W lens filter. What I am supposed to do with it, I am not too sure as I definitely do not have the 40-150 lens.
