Sad. The fourth line says it all. The OM line is dead, retired
and soon to be buried. The 24-40 must have been a small run for
Maitani's collection and a few got out.

Here is Olympus' final reply:
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you for your sending us the pictures of your lens.
We checked our record again.
Unfortunately, there is no record that we put such lens on our
production line.
There is no record that we sold such lens either.
Since all the people who were concerned with
the production of OM lenses have already retired,
no one knows about this lens in our company.
There are not manuals for products that were neither produced nor sold.
We are sorry that we cannot be more helpful about this matter.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
S. Sato

OLYMPUS IMAGING CORP. Tokyo, Japan"
