One member even claims to have a photo of what may be the elusive Wyoming factory! Can't remember the URL - probably a good job because knowing too much is dangerous.

Wyoming?


It's an Olympus mailing list in joke. If memory serves, it originated when a
seller on ebay listed an Olympus item and said in the description that it
was made at Olympus' Wyoming factory (there is no such factory). Since then,
you'll often see references to Olympus' secret Wyoming factory on the list.
Usually in reference to strange or exotic items, or items that are listed on
ebay as being Olympus items but are not. So you might for instance see an
ebay listing for an Olympus-made lens to fit a Canon EOS camera and someone
might comment that it must've come from the Wyoming factory.
