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.
