Great to hear that the youth of today still like and love the older
OM's.
In my high school days, in my photography class it was before the OM's
came out and at the time I got a Miranda similar to the OM but not as
good.

Subject: [OM] An OM day, with introduction
Hello all,
Most of you do not know me, so I'll introduce myself. I am 16 years old,
I
live in San Diego, and I have been a Zuikoholic since I was 14 when I
got my
OM-2. Up to that time, I had been using my father's OM-1 and lenses. I
have
subscribed to this list for nearly 2 years, but I have only posted about
4 times.
I have learned much from this list, and my photography has improved
significantly. I currently use an OM-2 with 24/2.8, 28/2.8, 35/2,
50/1.4, and
85-250/5 lenses, a Vivitar macro focusing teleconverter and an array of
accessories
that I keep in my Lowepro mini trekker backpack. Anyway...
This year I am finally taking a photo class at my high school. Today we
brought in our personal cameras for teacher approval. There were about
3 C*non
AE-1s, a few plastic bargain SLRs, and to my amazement, the two students
nearest
me had an OM-1n and an OM-2n. I don't know the respective owners well,
but I
told them that I could help if they needed any advice or instruction
with
their cameras or buying accessories. The students at my table were
impressed
with my OM-2, and each liked its small size compared to the bulkier
AE-1s that
the teacher had suggested for a first camera. Hopefully I have started
a few
more young adults on their way to Zuikoholism.
Returning to lurking...

PS: My birthday is in two weeks and I am looking for a decent OM-4 or
worn 4T
in the range of $200-260 to tell my parents about. It should function
properly and have all caps, but a bit of brassing won't bother me.
Thanks.
