Hi!

Yes, this is my web page.
I guess it surprises nobody that an OM2000 owner frantically hunting
and documenting clones is a member of this list...

I compiled this information by careful comparison of features and design
of these cameras, as well as using photo magazine articles. I find
it fascinating that so many cameras can be clone of each other.
In fact, the OM2000 seems clearly the best choice, thanks to its spotmeter.
...and it's zuiko lense mount.
(By the way, all theses clones have mirror lockup with self-timer).

I love mine.

This camera might be the most cloned model of all time... not too bad!

I try to keep the OM2000 & Clone page as accurate and up to date
as possible. If any one has any extra information or correction,
I'll be pleased to add them.

Sincerly,

Sebastien
