The OM-40(PC) is nice, but unreliable at its age, IME. It may go for 10 more
years, it may die tomorrow with circuit problems. I'd sell it or make sure you
carry a backup.
The OM-10 is OK, but I wouldn't trust that one either. It was a real amatuer
body, esp with that wacky manual adapter...yuk!
The 1, 1n, 2n are all great, and keepers.
IME the 1n, 2n, and 4ti are the best. If you're a manual guy, the 3 or 3t are
great, but the 3t's are too expensive. The OM4 was a great camera, but circuit
problems plague that one too; once again, not worth the risk of a failure in
the field
If you stay with the OM-System, the 4ti is my favorite body, by far. It has
the best metering system, HSS flash, AE, and multi-spot metering and durable
construction.
