Olympus OM-4 + Zuiko 40mm f2 Lens
The Olympus Zuiko 40mm f2 is the smallest lens for the OM system, measuring just less than 1" long. It is also one of the rarest and most desirable Olympus lenses ever made, with fewer than 10,000 copies produced between 1984-1994. Designed as part of a special personal project by the legendary Olympus engineer Yoshihisa Maitani, the Zuiko 40mm f2 manages to squeeze an impressive 6-element, 6-group optical formula into its compact "pancake" shape. One quirk of the lens introduced by its diminutive size is that the aperture ring is at the very front of the lens -- filters screw directly into it, and actually make it easier to adjust.
Here, an Olympus OM-4 makes a period-appropriate pairing with the Zuiko 40mm f2. The OM-4's advanced multi-spot metering system ensures accurate exposure with this uncommon optic.
