A small number of us, including but probably not limited to, Skip, GeeBee,
Peter, and I own both Le$ca and OM and shoot with both....
With the right lens, Le$ca excels at wide open, slow shutter, low light
work. There is nothing in the OM line like the 35/1.4ASPH. W/o a mirror,
you get at least one, and may be two extra stops, plus w/ the faster glass,
you are talking about 2-4 extra stops.
When I need the macro, or telephoto, or general versatility of a SLR, I
wouldn't use any camera except for the OM. It's small and compact and it's
simple, just like the Leicas. The 50/2 and 90/2 are about as good as any
Leica lens, although the Lecia 90/2AA is better at wide open, the Zuiko
90/2 bokeh is buttery smooth.
Most importantly though, just shoot, shoot, and shoot some more!!
