I use an OM-4 with the 2-4 screen and a Tamron SP 28-105/2.8. It's got the
non-rotating front element (82mm!) and seems pretty durable, but as you can
expect, it's not compact or especially inexpensive. I think I paid $550 or
so for mine last year. There is one for sale on photo.net at
http://photo.net/gc/view-category.tcl?domain=photo0.000000e+00net&primary_category=35
mm%20SLR for $340, a pretty good price IMO.
It's a nice lens
