I have seen that book. Its B.S. The author made several negative
statements
about the OM system, including Zuiko lenses. In the end he says
something like..
"Would I own(or buy) an Olympus camera? No. "
I remember the bit about Olympus 105 (??) It is obvious his opinion
stems from his ignorance.
Get your facts straight, Michael.

Subject: [OM] New book barely mentions OM
Amherst Media has a new book out titled something like "How to Select
and Use Classic Cameras" by Michael Levy. In his 35mm SLR section he
says only Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Minolta and Olympus SLR's should be
considered worth collecting and using. But he contradicts himself
later
on with Alpa and Leicaflex lust. He devotes lots of text to the
Nikon
F, but short changes everything else, including Olympus. To the
Olympus
OM, he devotes one paragraph, in which he says he had a (presumably
used) OM-1, but it "died" after 2 years. (Why didn't you fix it,
Michael?). But he really liked the "105mm" Olympus lens. Huh? A
105mm
Olympus lens?
Golly gee, another poorly edited book (there are lots of other
problems). I think it even had a copyright date of 2002. It's at
Border's.
BTW, I'd consider a Konica over a Minolta SLR any day of the week!
