I'm sure you'll get LOTS of other advice, Jon, especially about the parts I
haven't even addressed. My thoughts, though:
If you have a choice between an double-digit (-10, -30, OM-PC for example)
and single-digit (-2, -4) OM body, buy the single-digit. Single-digit bodies
seem to have far better build quality. You'll get nearly the same
functionality (actually, probably better functionality) from an OM-2 or
OM-2N (auto mode functions the same as the -10 does) than you got from the
OM-10. Since it is Olympus, all the OM accessories and lenses all still
work, and with the -2(n) you don't need a manual adapter, that functionality
is built in (just switch to manual mode).

Also considering an OM-2. I like the OM-1 (my father has one) but like the
ability to select aperture and shoot with what the camera decides, for those
situations where there isn't time to do it all manually (sacrilige I know
!). Any experiences I should know about with the OM-2 ?
