FWIW I think that Olympus wanted to call the first OM the M1 but Leica objected. May be entirely an internet myth! M9 W 139 x H 80 x D 37 mm OM2 W 136 x H 83 x D 50 mm I guess the larger depth to the lens mount with the OM 2 was due to the larger flange focal distance. Lots of micro four thirds folks are blessing those larger distances now. So are the adaptor manufacturers. FWIW I think that Olympus wanted to call the first OM the M1 but Leica objected. May be entirely an internet myth!
