_The OM System Lens Handbook_ by Olympus. Published around
1984-5, and described in the intro as the first in a series of
guides to all parts of the OM system. I'm only aware of this
one, though. According to Applebaum, Olympus has no plans to
publish the rest of the series. It has a photo essay in the
beginning that showcases Zuiko lenses, a short history of Olympus
and the OM system, an essay on the philosophy behind the design of
the OM system by Maitani, a section describing each of the lenses
then available in detail, and finishes up with a short section on
each of the other system groups and a lexicon of lens terms. Note
that there are at least 2 versions of this book, one dated 1984,
the other dated Oct 1985. The later one includes the following
lenses not included in the earlier version, but is otherwise
(at least as far as I can tell) identical:
50/2 Macro, 180/2, 35-70/3.5-4.5.
ISBN Unknown
So there are 3 additional lenses, not two.
Cheers,
