What Moose said.  I bought a new one for my son with a 35-70 zoom on his 
university graduation but he never progressed beyond point and shoot and 
finally returned it to me after many years.  I re-gifted it to a high 
school student this past summer whose father had posted an ad on 
FreeCycle saying he was looking for a manual camera for his son to be 
used in a high school photography class.  I was almost sorry I did.  The 
father never once said thanks and didn't respond at all when I offered 
to teach the kid about using the OM-G before his photo class started.
