Yoshihisa Maitani, creator of the Olympus Pen and OM systems, has died at the age of 76. A true genius IMHO and a sad loss to the industry.

Yes indeed, he pioneered so much and was a true creator. He will be sadly missed.

For many years I have been a keen OM user

I always admired the "thinking outside the box" approach to camera design that he pioneered.

A sad loss
