I had a long-standing notification request on the 150-400 and BH just sent me a note saying discontinued. I did pick up one on here, but a worrying sign
I just checked on B&H's website. They have two listings for this lens. One says "Discontinued", the other listing says temporarily out of stock, expected availability 2-4 weeks. Maybe it's just a database screw up with B&H website?
I’d have a hard time believing that Olympus would discontinue a $7500 lens that they’ve been selling like hotcakes since introducing just two years ago.

The OM-1/150-400 combo was a great rig for shooting a polar bear up in Utqiagvik, Alaska. This one was at 150mm to capture an environmental portrait, and it is nice and sharp even from that distance.
That's very possibly one of the very best polar bear shots I've seen from any system or any photographer, super well done!
