This is definitely the 80mm f5.6 lens for the Olympus Ace and Tower 19
cameras. It is a pretty rare lens ­ although the F4 80mm for the Ace is much
rarer still. The Achilles heel of the Ace was the very small bayonet fitting
­ I have seen parts of the flanges broken off a couple of lenses and the
bayonets are often quite loose. Apparently Olympus used particularly small
versions of the Seikosha SLV shutter for the Ace E and Tower 19 versions and
a small version of the Copal SV shutter for the Ace. They are really quite
compact cameras with a lovely bright finder with a reasonable effective base
length rangefinder.
