All Olympus lenses were called zuiko until recently. AFAIK it was the IS
series when they started calling them "Olympus lens".
Does anyone know why Japanese camera manufacturers always invented a
different name for the lenses? Is it as simple as a market belief that a
company couldn't do both bodies and lenses well, or was it trying to emulate
the German lens manufacturers inventing different names for bodies?
