Olympus has announced its new 2X teleconverter, the MC-20, which is compatible with the company's 40-150mm F2.8 Pro and 300mm F4 Pro lenses, as well as the 150-400mm F4.5 that will be arriving in 2020. Like Olympus' pro lenses, the MC-20 is weather-sealed and should function down to -10°C/+14°F, according to the company. The MC-20 will be available this summer.
In addition, Olympus has released an updated Micro Four Thirds lens roadmap. There aren't any dates on the roadmap, and the only lens called out is the 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS Pro, which is coming in 2020. The company is planning to release new zoom and fast prime Pro lenses as well as less expensive super telephoto and 'high magnification' (presumably travel zoom) lenses.
