Olympus Wide Super (1957)

The Olympus Wide Super went on sale in 1957 as a high-end model in the Olympus Wide series. It featured an F2 large-aperture wide-angle lens, a coupled range-finder and a parallax corrected view-finder. It was the first camera equipped with the "free light value" system, which allowed the photographer to set the shutter speed and aperture combination simply by reading the light value in a small window between the shutter ring and aperture ring.
