The July/August 2002 issue of Photovision magazine has a 1 page article-well
they called it an Editorial Comment-on the demise of the OM System. The
article is listed under the Features section of the front cover as "The End
of OM". I didn't see the article on Photovision's website and I don't have a
scanner so I'll briefly summarize. The article hashes over the OM's strong
points:compact size, ergonomics, optics, revolutionary OTF flash system, and
the use of Maitani in the 70's and 80's Ad campaign. As if any of us needed
convincing, this article and others that almost surely will appear in other
magazines, reminds us that the OM System was truly revolutionary and will be
missed.
