Olympus Zuiko 24mm f2

The Zuiko 24mm f/2.0 lense was easily being regarded as one of the attraction of the early OM system. Although there was no actual reference when this lense was introduced in the Zuiko lense family, but according to a listing compiled by Rick Oleson, it has been featured in a 1974 OM sales catalogue so we have to assume it was grouped among the earlier batch of original Zuiko lenses introduced prior to the OM-2. Even up to the early '80, this Zuiko wideangle classic was still ranked among one of the fastest* lenses available at 24mm focal length on the market and showed little sign of age even compared it with rivalries.. Considering the fact company like Nikon only started offering a 24mm f/2.0 in October, 1977, Olympus was almost half a decade ahead of the Nikon in introducing such a high speed lense type, it shows Olympus did command a leading role in 35mm lense development for SLR photography during that era, come to think of it, amazing huh ?
