I'll be 39 in July. I discovered the OM-1 in my local department store not
long after it started making waves in the market in 1974; I was a small kid,
and my hands weren't comfortable around the SR-T101 I was using at the time.
The first time I picked up the OM-1, it left like it belonged there.
Cameras and guns share (at least) one major characteristic: A major, perhaps
overriding, consideration in selecing them should be how they feel in your
hands. If you're not comfortable using it, you won't get good results. The
OM system has felt right to me from the beginning.
