RE: [KOML] Koni Models - Definitive List?

["Kotsinadelis, Peter" <Peter.Kotsinadelis@octel.com>]

  The Simmons Omega (Clive I am not sure if it was a B1 or B2 
  that they used as model designation), 1948 I believe.  I have 
  an article from Shutterbug written by Paul Klingenstein of 
  Mamiya America, detailing the initial developments of the 
  Simmons Omega.  I will refer to this to find the dates.
  
  The Rapid Omega I believe was 1970.
  
  If anyone has an interest in the article, let me know.  It 
  doesn't go into detail about each subsequent model following 
  the Simmons Omega, but is really focused on the origins of the 
  6x7cm format and how it came to be in the Mamiya 7 (great 
  grandson of the Simmons camera).
