Hi list,

while reading the 1976 Maitani's transcripted interview at:
http://www.geocities.com/maitani_fan/om_interview_3.html I saw mentioned
this "ultra thin 50mm F2 standard lens" which was (at that time) about to be
produced one year later.

There's a picture of this lens and it reminds very much the (in)famous 40mm
f/2, with its frontal aperture ring and characteristic size...
...

I made a similar observation a few months ago. No one responded then though, so I guess only Maitani-san would know for sure :-)
