I'll work on tagging all the lenses tonight.
Some preliminary comments:
There's no 180/2.8 in the picture.
I may be wrong on my tagging of the 75-150/4.
Yes, I think that the early prototype 75-150 is just to the right of the OM-1.
Hmmm, you've got a point. There are 4 "tall" lenses not identified if you count
my tagged 75-150. Possibilities of production lenses are the 200/4, 200/5, and
75-150. What is the other tall lens if it's not the production 75-150? Maybe
it's the 90-250/5 that's listed on the system chart in the same brochure? I'll
look closer tonight and see if I can figure out the remainder of the group.
One problem is that the picture's resolution is pretty poor in print.
Hans - any other ideas?

- That 75-150/4 on Skips photo doestn't look right. Isn't it the old 200/5?
An early prototype of a 75-150?
- Is that larger lens behind the the OM1 a 180/2.8 or a 200/4? What's the
smaller lens behind the OM1? (both 200/4 and 200/5? So where is the
180/2.8?)
- That 35 shift does look different from what I recall ...
- There are about 3 or 4 lenses that look like the 100/2.8 or 85/2 ....
Can we tag all these lenses?
Getting even more confused,
Daan
