: Also listed in an M-System Chart, but I'm not sure if they published a
: picture anywhere:
:
: 90-250mm zoom (maybe an early 85-250mm, but the maximum aperture wasn't
: even disclosed)
: 300mm f/6.3 F.Zuiko with 55mm filter thread
: 800mm f/9
: 1200mm f/14
: 500mm f/5.6
: 160mm f/3.5 (no, not my typo, but maybe Olympus's)
: 100mm f/2 (wow, I wonder if they were going to use ED glass at that
: early a design stage?)


And the 400mm/F4.5. The 300mm/F6.3 and 400mm/F4.5 prototypes appeared in the
Manual For Zuiko Interchangeable Lenses Group dated January 1973 (coded 0173 on
the back cover) complete with pictures, techspecs and lens cross-section
diagrams. I wonder what happened with the prototypes.
