Well,
IMHO was the Golden Age of OM from ~1985 to ~1994, when you were buying
used equipment. When the 40mm F/2 pancake was rated for $70. This was
the time bevor Olympus raised the prices about 40% when introducing The OM-3Ti.
Ok, viewfinder with series 2 screens did a big step forward since then.
