I always wondered who stole lens mount shutter speeds idea from whom - nikon vs olympus.

Nikon released the Nikormat almost 6 years before the om1 although Maitani was working on the design of the OM since 1968. Maitani considered moving the speeds to the mount as necessary to free up space on the top of the camera, it wasn't an aesthetic choice.

There's probably more to this but the Nikomat FT came out in 1965 and the Olympus M1 (later renamed the OM-1) in 1971. Neither camera was the first to have a concentric shutter speed ring but I think (I have been known to be wrong ...often) the Nikon was the first interchangeable lens camera to have this design. Someone out there might know which was the first.

Spotmatic with a really rare and expensive lens.
