Hi Chris.
Mail format is fine, but the message content... The Olympus OM Way has
NOT been written by Franz Pangerl, but by L. Andrew Mannheim. And it
does have the odd color picture (among a black and white majority).
Three zoom lenses are covered (35-70/4, 75-150 and 85-250).
My copy has a green leaves addendum between pages 16 and 17 which also
give a few details on the OM-1N, OM2N and OM-10 as well as on the T-20
flash. It was a 1981 reprint, without further changes.
I think either you are referring to The World of OM-Systems, as the
main (and much more common) work by Franz Pangerl is called in
English, or you have the author wrong and in that case you had better
read the book again too... or of course give it away to Chip S.
Good luck,
Frank.
