>Yesterday I did some Zuiko-archeology in my book shelf. I found an old OM1
>brochure. There was no date code on it, but it must be from the
>early seventies. It shows the OM1 with "all the 280 pieces of the OM
>system" (my translation; it is written in German). It includes a
>picture (photo) and all the data of the two never produced teles, the
>6.3/300 and the 4.5/400. According to this brochure they are as real
>and existing as all the other lenses we know of (we know by now, that
>this is not true). The 3.5/18, the 2/24 and 2.8/35 shift are amongst
>these lenses. What was new to me, are the lenses which were "planed".
>In this brochure there is a big chart, with drawings of all pieces
>of equipment, including the lenses. Several are marked with a star,
>which means, they are "planed". These lenses are:
>Zoom 90 - 250 (this became the 85 -250 I guess), 135 macro, 2/100,
>3.5/160, 5.6/500, 9/800, 14/1200 and an enlarging lens.

Were the 4.5/300 and 6.3/400 also included?
