This clever little lens is very shallow. It reduced the overall depth of
an OM camera enough that the camera could slip into a (large) shirt
pocket. This is what makes the lens so desirable -- what other 35mm SLR
can do that?
This lens also had a GN coupler. You set the guide number of your flash
on the lens, and when the coupler was engaged, the lens opening
automatically varied as you focused the lens -- automatic flash exposure
from a manual flash.
