Me, too, Wayne. And lately, my favorite method is to pick a shutter speed
and guess which aperture will give proper exposure (DOF considerations aside),
using MY "spot meter" eyeball to "meter" the subject. I get within a stop,
usually. That's a good exercise.
I would STRONGLY urge new OMers to find an OM-1 or OM-1n for their first or
at least 2nd OM. I can see starting kids with the OM-G for several reasons.
Or getting into the OM line on a strict budget. But at some point, metering,
aperture, DOF relationships will need to be learned if one wants to get the
most out of the hobby. The OM-1 models are fine, robust, all-season cameras
that
serve well as a first, second, or reliable backup camera for whatever
follows. I may sell darn near everything else someday (gulp), but I'll always
have
an OM-1 or 1n. You can cut that into marble.
Considering a new plastic SLR will cost you around $350, an OMG for $47 or an
OM-1or 1n for $125-$150 is a STEAL.
