My first camera actually purchased by your truly was an SP500. Before 
the OM1 came out. Although the bodiy is very slightly bigger than the 
OM1 those screw mount lenses are tiny in comparison to the Zuiko's. And 
the quality was in general second to none at the time. I ended up 
selling it and picking up my original OM1 kit plus a couple Rollei's. I 
still have the one Rollei I gave to my father but it has bounced down 
one last mountain and isn't repairable.
