Recently, I bought a Polaroid camera that would work w/ OM lenses that I
have really enjoyed. I'm not sure about the "fiber optic lens" since
mine was constructed to have the same film to lens distance as a regular
OM body. True that it only gives contact size proofs, but I use it on
interiors to study composition, light balance and sometimes filtration
(though the image that Polaroid film gives is not always accurate). I
probably paid too much for an item that doesn't see much use, but it
seems to save time - especially in dark interiors when I don't want to
squint through the viewfinder for hours on end.
I'd be curious to see how much it goes for since they are about $800
new. Also you have to sacrifice an existing OM body, which only adds to
the cost....
