Interesting official Olympus announcement with a budget provided seems the camera operation is barely viable in China and has ceased though the factory in Vietnam will continue to operate.
Gather robots are being used more in new factories with wages rising and sort of makes sense with Olympus reducing the number of camera options available now.
I notice any Pen F cameras for sale seem to go very quickly some feel this camera may be a future collectors item with production of the Pen F ceasing.
Not sure how long the electrics would last going on older Nikon cameras light meters eventually needing repair for instance.
