What is the historical best price for 40-150 f2.8 Pro (new)?

For the big US Black Friday holiday, the 12-40 f2.8 Pro went down to $699, which seems to be the lowest it's ever been offered new.

What is the lowest the 40-150 f2.8 Pro has ever sold for? (again, new authorised sellers)

Is there any reason to believe we may soon see a historical lowest price yet for the 40-150 pro, in the near future?

go look at camelcamelcamel to find amazon price. search for what ever it is you want and click on the search result.  "amazon" = authorized price.

I don't what the lowest it's ever sold for but I picked mine up last week for 1299.00 USD.

Not new, but I bought a reconditioned copy from the Olympus Store last year June for $960 - base price $1,200 less 20% with a coupon.

For the Olympus reconditioned gear, you have to be pretty watchful - the Pro lenses and high end primes tend to sell out pretty quickly when they're listed. They do post new stock regularly, though. They also regularly have coupons for 20-25% off.
