It seems to me the 2.0/40mm and a chrome or titanium OM1n would be great
candidates for a "commemorative release" by Olympus. Don't they have some
anniversary come up (2002 ?). After all Leica did it with their M-3 body
(called "M-6 J", with M-6 electronics) and the re-engineered classic
2.8/50mm Elmar collapsible. A very desirable combination.
However, I hope Olympus doesn't copy the pricing of that Leica release...;-)

Hi Frank:
Re: non-availability of the 40 mm f/2.0
Here is a sale to ponder. In 1987, a dealer advertising in Shutterbug was
offering a VG condition OM-10 with a 40 mm f/2.0 Zuiko for $135US. That would
work out to $184US in 1996. If we could only turn back the calendar!
