I don't think Olympus ever manufactured one but there are many after market
ones. They're definitly not rare, in fact, they're very common. I see them
all the time at photo shows and around here they usually sell for about $15US.
Ask around at used shops in your area, especially shops that deal with early
(1940-1950) cameras. I'm sure they probably have a few.
