In an Olympus interview (probably saw it at Imaging Resource) the Oly guy admitted that the Pen-F was a marketing experiment.

My friend Google found it..... http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2016/03/05/olympus-interview-cpplus-2016-recovery-is-techology-pen-f-experiment and scroll down to the Pen-F pic and start reading, the bit under the E-PL7 pic lower down is where the Oly admission is.

Hey, thanks for the link.

I wish I understood exactly what the 'experiment' is. Is it an experiment of pushing prices (and margins) up, or an experiment in selling a camera with bad CAF and a gimmicky dial that hipsters can get excited about?

I kinda feel like us shooters that prefer rangefinder-style shooting in a retro package are being somewhat neglected at the moment.
