Ah.  Fond memories of the OM-1 here.  Recent ones, too; I polished
off an OM-1 a couple of weekends ago to take pictures at my daughter's
first gymnastics meet.  They came out nice; I'd forgotten how well
film in a real camera works (the OM-1 outfit was designed to take
pictures of gymnastics, and was last heavily used back when I was
photographing MY teammates.  Sigh.)

I was a little disappointed that Olympus defined a new lens mount
for their digital SLRs, though I guess my old lenses are seriously
obsolete and weren't really THAT much of an investment in the first
place (the nice one being the Soligor 135mm F2)  Olympus has an
adaptor, but it doesn't look like it works so well (they "recommend"
not using lenses 'wide open', which would be most of the point in
the first place...)
