Well Doug, you won't be flamed by me. I've got both an OM-1n (w/Zuiko 50 mm f1.4) and a Leica M3 (w/ new 50 Summicron f2) plus 28 mm and 135mm lenses for the OM. It's a beautiful kit and both cameras feel wonderful. There was a time I wouldn't press the shutter release of anything but a Leica. The OM-1 opened me up to the world of (gasp) other equipment. I also own a (horrors!) NIKON F2. It's my "can't hurt it...don't care if I do" brassed, black paint baby. It even takes good pictures! Craig Boston
