Aren't they? As a matter of fact I've always thought of an Olympus OM1 as a Leica SLR. More so than the R's. And as much as an SL if not more so. Though the glass is very ok and not superb in most cases like a Leica. Both classics the M's and the OM's. I do find all the M's too big though. And true Leica's being the screw mounts. LTM's. Size wise. Though an OM1 is going going to go into your jeans pocket either. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
