I've always always loved this lens and in fact, it takes pride of mountship
on my OM-2n. I'm not sure why myself AG because I wasn't attached to the
Optical Group. This Group is so secretive that the Zuiko multicoating
formulation is actually behind lock and key at Olympus. When I came up with
the idea of the integrated dioptric control for the AZ-300, which culminated
in the AZ-330, I had to forward the idea to Maitani first and then get his
approval. Upon that, Maitani set up the meeting with the Zuiko Optical
Group. These guys are scary people - the way they think so obtusely. Half
the time, none of us would know what they were talking about because they
don't speak English! FYI, the OM-3/4/3Ti/4Ti dioptric control optical
arrangement was loosely derived from the AZ-330. I just look at it with
teary eyes and affection.... :)
