Re: [OM] Strange Olympus Lens on "that site"

[Skip Williams]

No one produced lenses specifically for the Ace except Olympus (as far as I 
know.)  Look here for more: http://www.claus-marin.de/35aceeng.htm
As for my limited knowledge, Olympus produced lenses for Exakta, Leica Screw 
Mount (LTM), M42 Screw Mount (on the FTL), the Pen F/FT, and the OM Series.  
That's all that I know of.  There are several good books on old Olympus 
stuff if you're THAT interested.
