Hello Jason,
Welcome to the list. I think you'll find as you get used to your
new OM, you'll come to love it's feel. I sell cameras all day long and
no other camera feels as good to me as my OM's.
Lens ARE available (and faster than the ones you've mentioned, but
bigger glass always has a higher price). Just keep watching here and keep
looking. I just scored a 55mm f1.2 last night, the first I'd seen in
person.
Ok, the book. The one *I* know is still available is Olympus User's
Guide, Modern Classics series from Hove (ISBN 0-906447-90-9). Maybe it's
because I've been using OM's since '77, but I didn't learn much from it.
And is by no means a thorough overview of the system. but as a newcomer
to OM's, you may find it helpful. Hope this helps.
enjoy,
Brad
