I have:
OM 28mm/f2.8 (Which I think is just ok, not as sharp as I'd like..
Color is good though.)
OM 50mm/f1.8 (The best kept secret on earth. Sharper then my Gillette,
and $$$ best bang for the buck)
Tokina 90mm/f2.5 Macro (The sharpest lens in the bag, hands down.
Nothing comes close.)
I was thinking of getting a 24mm/f2.8, and maybe a 2x teleconverter, and
that's it. I don't have much need for any other lenses, these 3 have
covered 950f my needs. Once in a while, I've wanted a 24mm, but
that's it. I'd like a 200mm, but I figure if I buy a 2x converter for
my 90mm, I'm close, while only losing 1 stop..
I only lose 1 stop with a 2x right??
The OM4 is pretty unique... I've just downloaded about 60 megs of lit
on it... brochures and everything...
So let me get this straight, it's like aperature priority all the time
on Auto right?
I'm not sure I understand the difference between it and the OM3, other
then the OM3 has a mechanical shutter...

The OM-4 is a unique. No other camera has its multi-spot measurement
system. If nothing else, it gives you a way to analyze the subject
that no other film-based camera can. If that -- rather than just
taking a single spot reading -- is useful or important to you, then
the OM-4T is the only way to go.
However, I think the lenses should be the deciding factor. Three
lenses is not much of a collection. If these are the only lenses you
think you'll ever need, stick with Olympus. On the other hand, if you
think you'll want other lenses, and they aren't or won't be available
from Olympus, I would dump your Olympus system immediately.
