: The Olympus Lens Handbook from Oct. 1985 includes the 180/2 lens, but
: for the 1.4x-A neither the 180/2 nor 180/2.8 lenses are recommended
: (acc. Hans van Veluwen, 12 Aug 2001; I don't have this book).

That not what I wrote or intended. The page for the 1.4xA mentions
compatibility with the 180/2, 250/2, 300/4.5, 350/2.8 and 400/6.3.

I've found another piece of literature that reveals a 'late adoptation' of
the 180/2.8-1.4xA combo: a Dutch brochure of the OM-4Ti Black, dated 3/91.
Both the 180/2 and 180/2.8 are listed in the lens data table as being
compatible with the 1.4xA. So the change must have been made somewhere
between 1986 and 1990.
