I had (and still have) a Honeywell Pentax H1a. The mirror returns, but
there's no meter. The Takumar that came with that one was 55/1.8, not
50/1.8. Was there an earlier 50/1.8? I later added a 50/1.4. The camera is
not much bigger than an OM-1 but somewhat heavier. I'd sold it to my
brother-in-law in the 70's and he just gave it back this year because it's
been in his closet for 20 years and he'd rather shoot digital. Took it for
a spin a while back and it's still a good basic camera. The Takumar 50/1.4
is definitely a better lens, IMO, than the 50/1.8 Zuiko.
