        19 here. Mean and median appear to he much higher, like twice my
age. No offence and not meaning to be smug, but that's what I gather from
the replies.

        First Oly SLR I was was my uncle's, and that too was from a
distance. I never got close enough to even see the model. Chrome, sweet.
Was camera shopping a few months ago. Looking for all manual and
mechanical. One shop showed me a chrome OM1 w/ Zuiko 50/1.8 (SC?). Love at
first shot/sight/feel. Such smoothness, quietness. Wow. But I wanted to
give the FM2n a shot for 3 reasons:
1. 1/250 synch
2. 1/4000 shutter (daytime, can limit DOF w/ 400 film)
3. swappable lenses--dad will be getting into medical macro shortly, and
he can get AF bodies and we can swap lenses
4. oh, also available new
But, it was going to be $$$$ because MF Nikkors are hard to come by; AF in
manual mode is just plain awful.
OM was light, small and quiet. THen the wonderful Zuikos. One Terence
Finan of Seattle, WA offered me his. I bought it immediately. Zuikoholic.
