I did mention this in one of the past threads and I also encouraged people
to visit wikipedia for that matter. When I visited wiki to check out, I went
to the "history" page - I think it was "history of the 35mm SLR or something
like that - and I was dismayed that there were hardly anything noteworthy on
Olympus' contribution. And so I decided to add on. It's not comprehensive
enough though but I felt it could be a nice way to start it off.
