Tried another body yet?

No, not yet. I'll have chance to try another body tomorrow... but as other lenses still work fine on the EM1 mk2 I doubt it is the body which is at fault.

I contacted Olympus support today. They seemed completely unsurprised at the failure and said this was always a slight risk and was the reason why they recommended using a wired internet connection and direct usb connection etc. Of course, even that doesn't rule out some software error or random glitch that we have no control over.

Sounds like it will be about 10 days turnaround to fix this (The fast tracked Olympus Pro Service option is only available if I send the EM1 body in with the lens, which I don't want to do). Hopefully the standard service will be swift as Olympus generally has a good reputation in that regard.
