Olympus 40-150 f/2.8 PRO I.S. (Image Stabilisation) ... how likely ?

I just picked up an Olympus E-M1 mk II .... I already have a Lumix GX7 and a pretty decent selection of m43 primes and some bang-for-buck zooms.

Living in Ireland, a big selling point of the E-M1 mk II is the robust weather sealing, and now my disposable cash savings are squarely aimed at picking up some of the pro Olympus lenses.

I'm disinclined to pick up a 40-150mm pro, since I feel like there is bound to be an IS version in the pipeline .... if there's an IS 12-100mm pro lens, and an IS 300mm pro lens ... then sssuuuuurely the piggy in the middle, 40-150, is due an IS update.

Am I right in thinking along these lines ?

I'm not a pro, and the sums of money involved are large enough that I'd rather wait for the update if it is an inevitability.

Opinions please, ladies & gentlemen.

thank you.

Olympus E-M1 Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7
