Kirons are very well made - all metal and up with Zuikos IMO. They used
combinations of aluminium and brass as these together have low friction against
each
other.
They are no longer made under the Kiron name. numerous series 1 Vivitars
were/are
apparently Kirons.
The OM4 wont reject the transplant.
First thing though, try and have a peek through a 3,4 or 2s with a 2 series
screen
or just go ahead and get one. I have less than perfect eyesight and getting a
2-4
was a cheap and cost effective upgrade considering the improvement in focusing
it
afforded me.
