This one's on my short list for favorite crossword of all time! I almost came to comment early out of excitement but didn't want to accidentally spoil the puzzle for myself. No doubt the gimmick won't resonate with all, but congrats to Chandi and Matthew for a unique concept and rock-solid execution!
While the clue for 5D is not incorrect (it doesn't specify *current* offerings), the note under Tricky Clues is. Olympus no longer sells SLRs and released their final SLR in 2010, choosing to focus on the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera line and eventually discontinuing SLR production altogether in 2017. Olympus' imaging division was sold to Japan Industrial Partners in 2021 and now operates as OM Digital Solutions, whose newly developed cameras and lenses are branded with the OM System logotype. So, not only does Olympus not sell SLRs anymore—they've entirely exited the consumer camera market.
@Kevin Bartender here. While I do agree that a Lemon Drop is not a martini proper, the full name of the drink is, for better or worse, *Lemon Drop Martini,* as per the International Bartender’s Association. <a href="https://iba-world.com/lemon-drop-martini" target="_blank">https://iba-world.com/lemon-drop-martini</a>/ I think they’re awful unless the citron is swapped out for regular vodka, and I usually add a little simple syrup in lieu of a sugar rim.
