Olympus has a history of groundbreaking camera and lens design. The first truly innovative camera series from Olympus was the PEN models, launched in 1959. They were half-frame format, and it allowed them to be very compact and portable for their time. Half-frame format means that it takes 72 pictures of 18x24mm format on a standard 36 exposure roll of film.
The PEN system design team was led by Yoshihisa Maitani. With the same design spirit, it later created the OM system, a full frame professional 35mm SLR system designed to compete with Nikon and Canon's best sellers. The OM system introduced a new trend towards more compact cameras, being much smaller than its competitors and presenting innovative design features such as the through the lens flash automation. Eventually the system included 14 different bodies and approximately 60 lenses. The range of Zuiko lenses was itself noted for its compactness, and beat some records of aperture for their focal length. Image File history File links OMLenses. ...
