Olympus OM-D E-M10 is coming along with three new lenses, and last week we found out that the price for the upcoming 25mm f/1.8 and 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 optics will be around ¥35,000 / $336 / €247.

According to 43rumors, a trusted source said that these lenses would not be sold for €250 in Europe. It seems that Olympus, like many other players on the digital camera market, will release its new lenses at a much higher price point for European customers.

The rumored price for these lenses in Europe is €399 / $540, almost 60 percent higher than the one speculated for the Japanese market. In addition to that, the 9mm f/8.0 fisheye body cap lens is also more expensive in on the old continent, at a price of €99 / $134.

Olympus OM-D E-M10 is expected to be announced on January 29 and will come with an estimated price tag of ¥80,000 / €560 / $760 body only, ¥95,000 / €670 / $910 for the single lens kit, and ¥110,000 / €775 / $1,050 for the double lens kit.
