Earlier this month, Olympus issued a service advisory for OM-D E-M10 Mark II owners whose cameras were affected by a lens mount locking pin issue that caused plastic mount lenses to not secure properly to the camera body. As a result, Olympus also announced it was pausing the sales of all E-M10 II until the issue was fixed for all units in transit or sitting on shelves.

Today, Olympus Japan announced sales of OM-D E-M10 Mark II cameras will start back up in November 2015, roughly two months after the initial service advisory was announced.

In the announcement, Olympus ensures that anyone who has already purchased an OM-D E-M10 Mark II with a defective lens mount pin is still eligible for a free repair. To see if your camera could possibly be affected by this issue, head on over to our original post.
