Just browsing through the "old junk" cabinets at the store today and I came across an intriguing item: A 40-85 f/3.5 zoom labeled "Owen Auto MC 40-85/3.5" Made in Japan. It's in Minolta mount, so it's really of no value to me but I'm just curious. The machining of the metalwork and the construction in general are magnificent. Don't know about the optics...
