[OM] Available light on the cheap: Film is the only way?

I noticed that for $75 one can buy an OM-PC body, mount a world-class $25
50mm Zuiko mij f/1.8, load up some Fuji 800 film, and have a very capable
available-darkness tool.

To capture images digitally in near-darkness, from my research, I'd have to
get one of  "them there" $2,000 digital bodies which won't even meter with a
manual focus lens.  To do available light, it's (what?), $2,200 to buy a
digital body/lens and be stuck with a 75mm perspective at f/1.8.

There's no other way right now, is there?  Have I missed something?

Hoping I'm wrong,
Lama
