it's interesting to see that they thought they would be useful for 'general photography'
On the subject of super wide angles. I remember spending all my uni' bar work spare cash on a Tamron 17mm. Had it for ages, but took every picture when I first got it!!! (regardless of whether it was the 'ideal' lens for the shot.

I did the same with my 24mm when I first got it - result is lots of old shots where the subject is too small in the frame!

Andy; Thanks a lot for those nice 250 magazine images of Olympus.
I found something that may worth a peak especially for all the Nikonphillic friends, that is quite interesting. Have a check:

Leica collectors usually have pretty deep pockets, but Hasselblad collectors probably a bit deeper.
Read the bit about the Jubilee cameras for King Bhumibol of Thailand.

King Rama IV is often shown with a camera. I remembered this (below) from my time there, made into a flag amongs others around Bangkok.

Foxy; There is nothing more interesting to me than real Gold on black body. Thanks for the link.

Guys as we lose the images on ebay in matter of 3 months or so, I got written permission form camera$ who is the seller of that gorgeous 250 magazine Nikon F to upload their images in here so that we have the reference even after ebay delete the originals.
Can't say how beautiful this one is. Just check the view from back that looks like one of those humongous chines cargo ships.
Again thanks to courteous Camera$ for permitting upload of their images here and if you wonder where you might be able to buy one of these, the good news is that, this camera is still available for sale on ebay. Here is the LINK. Also when there, don't hesitate to check the rest of items put up by this seller. There are some wonderful and rare items that can surprise you. As for seller, I have had opportunity of buying a camera from them about a year or so back and was fully satisfy with the purchase.
