Skip, I'm glad someone has come to the same conclusion I have about the OM-PC.
This is an oft overlooked camera whose price/performance can't be beat. Not only
do I use it as a second body to my 4t, but it's what I use when going on
vacation or anywhere that loss/theft/destruction is (more) likely. You can find
this camera in good condition for ~ $70 in my experience, probably because
Zeek-heads don't bid it up since it's an "amateur" model. I'm willing to put a
$70 body with a cheap third party zoom into all kinds of peril I'd never put the
4t and 28-80 into, and get shots I never would have gotten otherwise. I've
stated elsewhere that the OM-PC in program mode, with ESP on and one of those
self-contained auto-focus lens is an intriguing grab shot setup. Hey, put that
on a tripod with a trip switch and you could be the first to get a well exposed
and focused Sasquatch shot!
