Hi Bruce,

I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong but, I'd go for the Olympus PC
lens because should the day ever come when you can't find a working OM body
to mount it on, you can have it converted to whatever other brand takes your
fancy. This is true only for the OM PC lenses and that is because they are
fully manual. You focus with it wide open and then just prior to taking the
shot, stop down with a lever on the lens. I have heard that many N*k*n
owners buy the OM 24mm PC lens and have it converted to fit their system as
N*k*n don't make a 24mm shift.

John.
