I was fortunate to have been offered Olympus inventory of VIP loaner
equipment a few years ago. Stock included (2) 350 f2, (1) 250 f2 and
(1) 180 f2. They sold quickly, most if not all to list members.
I saw a sample of the OM-4 / MD2 / 18V Grip that had been modified by
Nasa for use in the Shuttle. Here's the picture which I may have linked
to previously.
