[OM] What do I get

Thanks for all your advice on what would be a good addition to my kit. Most
of you think I need a good 50mm prime.

Now, a stoopid question... what would be the benefit in getting a 50mm,
apart from an extra f-stop, when I already have a "prime" zoom that covers
this, and also allows me to stay still and get the framing right? As I've
had the zoom for so long I'd can't see that I'd use a fixed standard very
much.

I didn't tell you what I take pictures of.. mainly the family, but also
buildings and trees etc and things that make patterns (like scaffolding;
railway lines;. Most of the family ones are indoors so there is lots of
flash work. 

Because of the average metering of my OM1 I was thinking of maybe getting a
spot meter....

.. or possibly another body as a backup 

.. or the 500mm mirror sounds fun, although I'm not sure how often it'd get
used

Any further opinions?

Sam
