I have all of the above, plus Nikkors and some Canon lenses.
As most people here know, one of my favorite things about the
OM system is its size & weight, and the smaller, slower lenses
have always been among my favorites.
The petite OMs are beautifully constructed, fine handling and
performing lenses (specially the 24/2.8s and 100/2.8s). Plastic ?
This guy may be talking about the Cosina-"Zuikos" for the OM-2000.
