I've owned and enjoyed OMs since Olympus had its heyday, some 19 years
ago, and I still have my trusty Om-2S and OM-2n. But I, too, would
hesitate to recommend a newcomer to start into OM now, for the reasons
Tom mentions. This does beg the question, though: for those who don't
want auto-focus, what other choice is there these days: Nikon, Contax,
Leica, ... ?
