There's a new rumor that Olympus will launch a new range of f/1.4 prime lenses – and I think this is both an inspired and long overdue move. 

It's fairly typical for most lens mounts to have fast primes offered in three apertures: f/1.2, f/1.4 and f/1.8. Until this point, however, the best Olympus lenses have only been offered in f/1.2 and f/1.8 flavors – and a chasm of disparity exists between both the end users and usage cases for these two product lines.
