I found my old OM 1 brochure again. It is in Danish, no date printed. Early
seventies, no doubt.
On the 2-page picture with all lenses, parts for macro and scientific work
etc. is printed a drawn scematic of all parts.
One can spot the 18 mm with the wider (72 mm) front, a 90-250 mm zoom (that
seems bulkier than the 85-250) a 100 mm F2 (which seems quite a bit smaller
than the "real" one), a 160 mm F3.5 (yes, 160 mm), a 300 mm F6.3, a 400 mm
F4.5, a 500 mm F5.6, an 800 mm F9 and a 1200 mm F14 apart from the usual
lenses.
The lens list includes only some of these prototype lenses: the 300 F6.3
(weighing only 600 g and taking a 55 mm filter), the 400 4.5 (2.2 kg, 100
mm filter).
The brochure has no picture of a flash, nor is any mentioned, but the
drawings show to flash models, different from the QA 310, the original OM
flash. One of them might be the PS 200 model, which for some reason was not
sold here in Denmark.
I'll try and see if I can scan this somehow, but I doubt that this scematic
drawing can be scanned.
