Quoting from memory (my own, unfortunately) I think the 180/2 and the
50/2 macro were the two lenses added. The 50/2 shares a page with the
50/3.5, and the 180/2 probably is on the same page as the 180/2.8. I
will look into it deeper when at home, tonight.
I am sure the 90/2, the 50-250 zoom and the 35-80 zoom are not in one
of these books. A few of the very early OM-lenses were omitted too,
like the 55/1.2 which had been succeeded by the 50/1.2 before 1984. I
think the 28/3.5 is missing as well. So the book is not exhaustive for
all OM-lenses ever made...
AFAIK only two editions of the book have been released, early 1984 and
mid or late 1985. They were given away for free by Olympus.....
