Albert, you sound like my grandmother. I think she'd rather read a catalog than a book. Gardening catalogs, kitchenware catalogs, coffee, American Indian lore, miscellaneous collectibles...her easy chair is surrounded by 'em.

Dr. Peter Gilbert has compiled a handsome online collection of OM related documents, with the help of Mark Dapoz and others (thanks, folks, much appreciated):

http://www.deakin.edu.au/~peterg/index.html

They're in PDF format so if you care to spend the time, paper and ink, you can print 'em out at home, then enjoy them in the convenience of your own easy chair, bathroom or preferred reading area. ;^) (My catalogs are on top of my ferret's cage in the bathroom. Well...where else would one keep a stinky ferret?)

Is the OM series comparable to the Lecia SLRs? Hardly. How could the bulky, awkward Leicas of uncertain origin hope to compare? (I jest, of course. Having no interest in the Leica SLRs such comparisons matter not at all to me.)

...I'm a catalog freak, have over 400 catalogs at home...

Also, how does the OM series compare to something like the Leica 6.2?
