: Now, more interesting: He also offers the book (english text):
: Franklin: Modern Classics Olympus Cameras  DM 69.-
: Does anybody know something what this book is about? - Is it an
interesting book?


This is the book that's get slashed in the FAQ. I have this book, and agree
with the slashing. The index is wrong, the book promises both the OM-3 and
OM-4 but only describes the OM-3, the cameras are described in a tedious
uninspired way (following all the controls) and the book contains errors
(what's that funky bellows on page 178? Surely not made by Olympus!).
Besides the DM.69 you mention is overpriced. It is still available new, for
half this price! And considering its content you should never pay more than
DM.15 for it...
