Hi James:

Next get yourself an OM-2 (w/Shoe 3), or an OM-2n or better and take advantage
of Off The Film metering with that T-20.

I'd forget a zoom above 200 mm given your probably budget.  You really have to
pay top $$ to get the kind of optical correction necessary for good pix on
lenses over 200 mm, unless they are slow, like f/5.6.

You can find a 50 mm f/3.5 Zuiko Macro in the $96-135US range.  It'll make a
fine addition to your lenses.

A better tripod would be a great investment.

I've been accumulating equipment for 22 years.  If you are patient, you'll
seldom have to pay top dollar, although I'm in the US and you are in New
Zealand . . .
