Hi Vlad,
I've just had two OMPC's to evaluate. I purchased neither of them because
the display did not work on one and the mirror/shutter would lock up
intermittently on the other. I would recommend getting a good set of 357
(SR44) batteries and putting the camera through a torture test. Shoot at
all speeds. A lot. Mine tended to lockup mainly at speeds below 1/30 sec.
Seems like a nice camera if it works.
The lens is a good user. Incredibly light. Good ones are getting harder
to find and more and more expensive too.
