OMs didn't exist when I was in college. I started with an OM-1 in about '74.

Here are some shots of a gig my friend's band did at the Fryeburg (ME) Fair.
They could look a lot better, but I simply
downsized the JPEGs, right out of the camera. No RAW, no NR, etc., so you can
see what's the worst you can expect.
They start out at ISO 1000, with some daylight left, then work their way up to
ISO 6400, as the light dies, only the
funky stage lighting is available and I move to longer, slower focal lengths.
Obviously, the lighting pretty warm, but I
didn't adjust WB either.
Shot with E-M5, 14-150 and 75-300.
Maybe there's an OM (-D) again for you. :-)
