: Well... I skimmed throught it quite quickly - but nothing really jumped
out
: at me.  I'll look back through the archives and see if I can pinpoint the
: errors that you are referring to!

Some of the 'highlights' in this book are:
- the name of the author is wrong (must be a joke to translate the German
author Franke into Franklin)
- the table of contents is wrong
- the chapter on the OM-3 & OM-4 only covers the OM-3
- the Guide Number formulas on page 163 are wrong
- the bellows on page 178 is a Novoflex bellows, not Olympus (funny is that
there are other Modern Classics books on other camera systems that have the
same error)
- the 'leisurely' way (page 86) the cameras are described is very boring.
