Leica Lenses : A scan of the booklet "The Interchangeable Leica Lenses" dated October 1937. Not as good as I would wish but the booklet is over 70 years old and the paper is becoming very brittle. So I was unable to press it flat down during the scans. There are also some scans of advert's from that period and another booklet.

Olympus Kit Lenses : I get tired of hearing recommendations on forums for Canon and Nikon. I use both makes and others and think that the Olympus kit lenses offer a lot higher quality than people would expect. So here are some samples. They were all taken with the telephoto zoom from the two lens kit. That means 40 to 150mm (80 to 300mm in 35mm film terms) and f/3·5 to f/4·5 at the widest. People who think you need high ISO settings for fast moving objects should look at the EXIF and also bear in mind that for the pictures of aircraft the camera was hand held. All the pictures show jpg's just as they came out of the camera; an Olympus E-500 .

Olympus mju-II : Sample pictures taken with the Olympus mju-II, which was probably the last 35mm P&S with a fixed focal length lens made by them. It was made from 1996 onwards and a special edition was made in 1998. These a good but brief list of models and dates for Olympus cameras here: http://zuserver2.star.ucl.ac.uk/~rwesson/esif/om-sif/camhistory/camhistory.htm Best viewed as the "Large" size. Scanned by Tesco's so only about 2 megapixels.

Low Light & Noise : People get wound up about low light and noise. I prefer the classic approach of f/2 or so, ISO 100 and a bit of technique. All these shots were taken with the camera on the "P" setting at ISO 100. They were handheld and I was taking a lot of pictures to get the atmosphere after the airshow, when the old 'planes are put back in the hangers. BTW, to get the pictures at slow shutters speeds you need to watch what people do. In all of these shots the 'planes were moved slowly forwards, then backwards until in the right place. The pictures were taken as they paused before going in the opposite direction.
