The OM Magazine is a German magazine. It started in 1980 (only one).
With 4-Magazines per year. It was discontinued in 1986. A total of 21 should be
available.
I´m still looking forward to get the two missing one`s from 1985 for my
collection.
In 1986 Olympus Germany replaced the OM-Magazin with German issues of
VisionAge.
Called "Olympus Magazin International", based on former available english
magazines.
The OM-Magazines are nice, I like reading them. It is more a users/amateurs
Magazine.
A lot of nice Olympus photography and informations about OM-Equipment.
But there is not so much detailed(!) technical information as in the VisionAge
Magazines
(p.Ex. when Yoshihisa Maitani explanes the latest camera features in V.A.).
