I love the 40mm focal length as well, maybe because I grew up on it. It's
one reason why I grab one of the 35RC's so often (okay, 42mm). But I could
never justify paying the collector's price of putting a Zuiko one on an OM,
and having a camera that does essentially the same thing as the RC, imo. On
the other hand, what is the price of the Cosina 40mm one?
