Nice. The OM-1/2n must be the models for 'nowhere'.

Interesting. So not mentioning the 'i' must mean 'national' then? ;-)
Living in Europe I can't help to recognize the 'united states = the
world' syndrome, in which the 'T' standing for 'national' sure makes
sense ;-)
If I'm correct the OM-4Ti is the name in Japan too...? If your
explaination is right then please explain why they sell the
'international' version in their own country.
