New Ultra-wide angle lenses
Industry expert Mason Resnick provides some context for the release of the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm f/2.8 Lens in his First Look column in the Adorama Learning Center:
With the release of the 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro, Olympus now has a complete range of constant aperture f/2.8 zoom lenses, including the Zuiko ED 12-40mm f/2.8 and M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 lenses, giving photographers a desirable constant f/2.8 aperture from the 35mm equivalent of 14mm-300mm.

The 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro lens has the 35mm equivalent focal range of 14-28mm, and is freeze- dust- and splashproof. Olympus is becoming known for its 5-axis Image Stabilization, which this lens has built in. It also features the Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical (ZERO) Coating to reduce flaring as well as a fast and quiet AF function, and focuses to about one inch in front of the lens.

The Olympus 8mm f/1.8 Fisheye lens is the world's first dust-, splash- and freezeproof 8mm f/1.8 fisheye lens. This 16mm-equivalent lens features a bright, wide-open aperture and ZERO coating, and has a diagonal 180-degree angle of view. Its optical performance has been optimized for star photography.

Titanium OM-D E-M5 Mark II
The newest version of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II features a ruggedized, magnesium alloy body that's been weather-sealed and can withstand temperatures of as low as -40 degrees Celsius. Created mainly for collectors interested in vintage-inspired film camera designs, only 250 of these mirrorless digital cameras will be available in the United States.

Announced in February 2015, the OM-D E-M5 Mark II camera's original features are otherwise carried over to this new Titanium edition, including a 16MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, 5-axis Image Stabilization, Full HD video recording up to 60fps and built-in Wi-Fi.
