Unofficial Olympus OM Sales Information File on CD?

[thmk]

Hello,

does anyone know if and where the eSIF on CD from http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/esif/om-sif.htm is still available for purchase? My Email was rejected with "recipient unknown"...
Also no luck on http://olympus.dementia.org/eSIF/om-sif.htm (no answer).

Cheers
Thomas-Michael

I'd also be interested. Would much appreciate help on the matter!

You do realize that all the information is contained in the first link you gave above, right? Meaning, the eSIF is still available on the web.

It was good to have a look at that and re-read the interview with Maitani about the design of the OM-1. It makes you realise why it's such a brilliant camera ... his design targets were admirable and the the fact that he realised them totally and successfully makes me very glad I have one! 🙂

I think somewhere down the track used OM-1's are going to get harder to find and clean original ones will be worth several times what they are now. The camera is an absolute icon for what an SLR should and can be and it must have sent a lot of the other manufacturers into a spin when it was released.

Yes, I am aware of this. But the eSIF on CD did contain additional material and higher resolution scans.

The Olympus OM mailing list is still very active, I'd start with a query there.
