Thanks AG and Johann
I will do my best for all of you. I'm trying to bring back parts of my life
that have all too often been buried for all too long a time. I was for most
parts with Olympus all the way to the OM-4Ti and also the V-1000 Vectis,
which incidentally was the first commercially saleable digital camera,
running on floppy diskettes. And yes, yes, yes, it was an Olympus. You can
still buy spare parts for the V-1000 today!
I was involved in some development projects that were then NDA-covered but
they're pretty much open now. The AZ-330 SuperZoom was a favourite of mine
for two reasons. Firstly it changed the course of camera design and only
now, others are catching up. That's some twenty years later! Secondly I'm
proud that the built-in dioptric control was the first in the world and I
was the guy behind it but it came by accident!
The most heartbreaking time I had at Olympus was watching the Space Shuttle
explode in mid-air, perishing all within and the OM-4Ti. We had toiled on
the OM-4Ti but that's another story....
