Ahhhhh. OM triviaaaaa!!!!!!!!!
I just love this list.

And how about the different colour schemas of the cover of the manuals?

The OM-2 manual I own is in Dutch; it is the larger sized. Peculiar is
that the banner that holds the text ('Olympus', 'Instructions' and the OM-2
logo) is WHITE, instead of BLACK like all the other ones I've seen.

Any comments?
