Well, my first OM camera was the OM-2n.  Beforehand, I had a
Canon Canonet QL17 G-III rangefinder, which is a little smaller
(and lighter?) than an OM body, but not by much.  Btw, many of
the Oly R/F's are full-size, comparable in size to an OM body
(e.g. Ace, 35SP, 35LC, 35LE, Auto-Eye, etc.)

Hmm, not really:  in my "poetry" comment I was referring to the
unfortunate rhyme between "mount" and "paramount", although the
latter was IMHO the correct term for the sentiment I was trying
to convey.

Oh, absolutely!  In fact, I have already administered 15 lashes
to my bum with an M.Grip Cord 2.  :-) :-)

To all my dear Zuiks/Zuikettes and their loved ones -- Season's
Greetings, and best wishes for a happy and prosperous 1999.
