Philipp500 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 A while ago I came across a website with the production figures of the OM Zuiko lenses. It had been made up with the users' help according to serial numbers. And now there's no way to find that site again. Can anybody help me? Thanks to all and good pictures.

konrad_beck1 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Do you mean this? http://petroglyph.crestline.ca.us/?q=node/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipp500 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks a lot Konrad, that's the one indeed! Do you know of any more official figures? Looks like this has been estimated from a limited number of lenses. No figures for rarities. Do you know how to become a member of that site?

konrad_beck1 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The info on how to join the Olympus Mailing List, which had compiled the data is here: http://www.zuikoholic.com/ But you might first check what the current discussion is at: http://lists.tako.de/html/Olympus-OM/ (OM cameras and lenses seem a little bit outdated, and in the moment they are more interested in Diesel cars). I am not aware of any "official" production figures. Here are a few which I think are reasonable: 50/1.8: 4,185,000; 50/1.4: 936,000; 75-150/4: 392,000; 28/3.5: 366,000; 135/3.5: 305,000; 28/2.8: 280,000; 35-70/4: 222,000; 35/2.8: 190,000; 200/4: 173,000; 50/3.5 macro: 162,000; 24/2.8: 123,000; 135/2.8: 118,000; 35-70/3.5-4.5: 116,000; 100/2.8: 98,000; 35-105/3.5-4.5: 81,000; 55/1.2: 66,000; 35/2: 59,000; 65-200/4: 56,000; 35-70/3.6: 54,000; .... 40/2: 9,800; 100/2: 9,000; 16/3.5: 7,800; 500/8: 7,200; 50-250/5: 6,500; .... 18/3.5: 5,500; ..... 180/2: ???400???

Philipp500 Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Dear Konrad, that's a lot of infos. Thank you very much. I see that only 400 of my dream lens, the 180/2 have been made! That's bad news. By the time I'll have saved enough, it'll be impossible to find one... too bad. And I'm not going to switch to digital soon.
