Recalling that Maitani was fascinated with the M-series
Leicas and that the OM-series was his attempt to produce
M-series SLR's, wouldn't it follow that the color signature
on OM lenses was designed to conform to the colder
German-made lenses?  Anyone with Leica/Contax experience
care to comment on a comparison of the color signatures
between OM and Leice/Contax optics?
