Hi Gary
Just wondered, what would be your ficticious reliability number for
the OM-PC? :-)
BTW, I like the OM-PC/40 very much as well just like you. Compared
with the shutter sound of a crude OM-10 the OM-PC sound is almost in
the same class as the sound of the OM-2S/P (well, nearly any way). I´m
still waiting for my friend to sell her OM-40 to me, but so far she
has refused to. Is there a better way to make her sell it? Bribes?
Threats? Physical force? ;-)

You know I just use my OM-2SP sometimes to get in the right mood. Very
useful actually... ;-)

Well, I might have figured that... :-)
Cheers,
