It's about a lot more than being cheap though. If that was the case
I'd still be driving the first car I bought and using that really
cheap twin lens "2 1/4" from the late 50's. :-) One of the bodies in
question was CLA'ed by John about two years ago and was giving bad
meter readings within less than 18 months. I don't think that's a
reflection of John's work but it probably is a sign of the potential
problems with the aging electronics in the bodies.
Anyway, OM's have been my primary SLR system for the past 25 years but
I know that at some point I'm going to spring for a new system that
includes autofocus lenses and both film based and digital bodies. As
I said before, now is probably the time to cut my losses. Is that the
call of a Canon EOS-3 that I hear in the background? :-)
Later,

You are probably right. I know that some OM lens additions I had as
goals have been set aside because of the stampede to digital. I will
probably never reinvest in a system camera. I would have been happy
with a full 35mm format digital body for my lenses though. Sad it did
not happen. I guess Oly has to do the half frame format again. Olympus
PEN rides again.
