I shamefacedly admit, that never crossed my mind!
They never entered my scope of interest, and I must have totally ignored their existence!
No, they never caught on with me, either! <g>


Thanks for clearing that up for me, Rob...

As a one time OM-1 and OM-2 owner, I take exception to the "...never really
caught on" comment. That series of small Olympus SLRs were exceptionally well
engineered, well thought out and heavily accessorized. They had lenses that were
top of the line performers by anyone's criteria.

I'm sure he is referring to later Olympus line of fixed lens film SLRs
