If you want to be able to focus quickly and accurately in low light
situations I would say you have three options:
1 acquire fast lenses, probably primes, for use with your OM10
2 Acquire a single digit OM.
3 Have John Hermanson retrofit your OM10 with a 2-4 or 2-13 screen
You should perhaps consider acquiring a 50mm f1.4 or f1.8 for use in
low light situations - zoom with your feet. This is probably the
cheapest option.
IMO zooms are next to unusable with a manual focus camera in realy
low light. I have had trouble even with a 50mm f1.2 in low light
(prior to a 2-4 screen that is).
