My Dutch OM-1 MD manual from 2/76 doesn't contain the QA 310 either; wasn't this
flash released together with the OM-2, in 1975? The manual is probably a
translation of an early version. The only Olympus flashes that are mentioned are
the CL (for flash bulbs) and the very simple electronic flash PS 200 (GN 14m, 
only
manual).

If you could,  Lars, I would like a copy of it for the e-SIF. My manual doesn't
contain a Lens Group Chart, only a table, which doesn't contain any of these
prototypes (it does contain the specs of the old design L.Zuiko 18/3.5 (12 el,10
gr)), and a group photo that shows both 300's, both 400's and this old 18/3.5.

Btw, does you chart reveal what the speed of this 90-250mm zoom would have been?
