I use an OM-1. I'm a photojournalist. I learned off an OM-1 and I've
discovered there's not much one can't compensate for. Autofocus would be
nice, but I've done sports where one would want it with my camera. It's
not that you have to stop and think, compose, wait, rethink, compose
*click* and get your shot. You just do it all faster.
It's a matter of skill and ease. The best thing for anyone would be able
to use the manual and feel comfortable using an auto too.
