I would think because the OM2000 has electronics as well, it might have
the same problem.
However, I had a look at it and I dislike the led light meter compared to
the gauge in the OM-1. It certainly doesn't feel as hard wearing or long
lasting either.
So mow my consideration is find a cheap good quality OM-1 body, and maybe
a couple lens. 8)
I would think that the standard 50mm f/1.8 is probably a good cheap first
lens option. What would be a good initial zoom lens to go with this
system for nature, landscape shots?
I've seen a 75-150 f/4, which seems reasonable and in my possible price
range.
Thanks,
Nicholas
