Sorry about that one guys. I don't know how this managed to get to the OM list instead of the Kiron Klub since it was a response to a Kiron Klub message.

For those who don't know the history of what is now called the Olympus
OM system the first camera of the series (what is now called the OM-1)
was originally marketed as the M-1.  The M-1 was only on the market for
a short time before Leitz objected saying they owned the name based on
the Leica M1 of 1959.  Olympus backed off and changed the name from M-1
to OM-1.  A small number of cameras did hit the streets with the M-1
name and today these are very expensive collectors items.

The heritage of the name continues in the mirrorless line with the
current professional model known as the OM-D E-M1.

I've tried to standardise names but there maybe
discrepancies, for instance, the early Olympus camera was first marketed
as an M-1, but can also be listed as an OM-1 or even OM1.
