Frank,

I didn't think they were made of titanium. Just the finish was called
titanium. Wasn't there a titanium finish OM 3 or 4 at one point, too?

I take it everybody knows these titanium lenses had a hard titanium  
(nitride, I think) plating on a standard brass lens..... There was  
AFAIK no metallic titanium in them.
