I loved the design of the Olympus cameras. If I recall, they were the first cameras permitted in the court rooms, because their shutters were so quiet.
I think those were Leica rangefinders, but I could be wrong. The Olympus I had was quieter than my Nikon, but it wasn't that quiet.
But I really loved to design too, and like I said earlier, they were substantially smaller than other SLRs of the time.
