I wonder if it was as early as '84. I've got a big (about A4 in size) silver
coloured brochure (I think it's the same as was mentioned the other day by
someone selling his) and it's not presented in that one, nor is the 180mm/2
btw. So I figure that it was introduced later than April '85 but earlier
than summer (northern hemisphere?) '86.
Anyway I hope you've found a buyer for yours Howard. I've got mine and I'm
using it on my E-1. You have probably all seen my backyard photos:

lens.
My thoughts are with you. / Johan
