I was just looking at the scans of the latest Japanese language OM system
brochure which Tomoko scanned and uploaded to her ftp site. It is
interesting that the 85mm/F2 lens has disappeared. The only thing close are
the two macro lenses. Now that is something to ponder.
Is the OM5/6 going to have a few new lenses to go with it like an 85mm/F1.4
as well as new flash items to replace the dropped ones? Hmmmmmm
