Hi List,
Couldn't help but notice how much the book yall are describing resembles a
book i bought a couple of weeks ago. "The World of OM-Systems" by Franz
Pangerl, Co-produced with Olympus Optical Co. (Europa) GmbH., Hamburg
Covers OM-1 and OM-2, Zuiko lens charts and data, accessories and much more
good info. A really great book. 350 pages of nuttin but OM. :-)
