Price wasn't part of your comment, Andrew. The O-Product was a 70th
anniversary celebration model. That's all. Actually the O-Product's guts
came from the Olympus AF10 with the 35mm f3.5 lens, all made in China. It
was successful enough - the whole got sold out before the batch was
complete. The Ecru followed from there and, yes, again the guts came from
the same camera.

Err, Andrew, answer is, again, no. This is no fake. It was presented to
the patriarch of the company, Mr Michaels, by Olympus Optical Company
themselves.

I'm sure a man of your capabilities can do anything...  :)
