That qualifies as a full-fledged Fang. With a CLA you will have a like-new
camera for 1/2 the cost of a pretty-looking OM-3. Wish I could find such a
deal.
IMO, the wear makes it look more 'professional'... now think up some stories
of all the places you've been with it, like "When I was in China
river-rafting the upper Yantzke in 1986..." and "When I climbed Mt. Everest
with the third expedition of 1991..." and you've got the look.
Anybody can buy a pretty-baby camera and never use it, you have one that has
'street cred'! Congrats!

OM-1's, -2's, -4's, (no -3's yet) and no OM-oney...
Or you could sell it to me... I'd be willing to almost double your money <g>
