Hey Eric,

I also love the OM1, IMHO, it's the best designed reflex camera ever made!
Maybe it's not the best construction but the design is beautifull and very
smart!
It's a pity the leicaflex was not designed that way...Think of a leica made
OM1!!!
I did not know the 50 f/2 but what do you think about the f/1.8?
