I had never seen an OM-PC until last weekend at the Buena Park camera show.
What a sweet little camera - black finish on brass body and nice grippy
rubber cladding. This one was in great shape for $135 including the
multi-coated Zuiko 50mm/F1.8 lens. What a deal. I found out later that Keh
has one in excellent condition for about the same price.  It can be used
manually, in automatic program mode, and has a switch to change between
center weighted metering or a simple form of matrix metering. No spot
meter, but almost like a slightly simplified OM4. Nice cheap way to start
out accumulating Zuiko lenses.
