Hmm.  I'd love to design something like that.  For a 35mm, it'd be VERY
compact.  But if it's that compact, might as well move to MF, I mean, 4.5x6
would do very well in that.

But if in 35mm, something like a Zuiko 50/1.2 that stops down to F32, Bulb -
1/1000th, it would go sooo compact it's not funny.  I'd be happy with
something like the 50mm/1.8 because it's so small..  But the focal plane is
moved up quite a bit...

Hmm.. you think Olympus would be interested in designing something like
this?  hehehe.. yeah, I didn't think so either..  Hmm.. I'm wondering how
hard this would actually be to design, not too many parts involved it looks
like...
