I got a "rare" brochure today that I'd not seen before. It's the first OM-1
brochure produced and is essentially the original M-1 brochure with all the
instances of "M-1" replaced by "OM-1" Printed in Japan Jan 1973 in
Letter(US) size.
The surprising thing is that I saw something that I'd never seen mentioned.
There are the 1200/14 and 90-250 lenses pictured in diagram only, which I'd
heard of; but I also see that there is a 160/3.5 depicted in the system
chart. Has anyone ever seen anymore information on that? It's too hard to
examine the group photo to see if it actually got produced in prototype form
like the 400/4.5 or 300/6.3. My sense is tha the 1200 and 160 went the way
of the 90-250 and were only done up in drawing, technical, or conceptual
form, and never produced.
Anybody got other info on the mystery lens(s)?
