Subject: [OM] oly (2nd) body advice needed
> OK, here's the scenario: my first-love OM1n has given up the ghost from a
> fall (as you know from my post a week or so back--oddly, no word from Dr.
> John...am I killfiled that bad?).
>
> I have "withdrawl" symptoms, depression etc. I /need/ my OM fix SOON to
> survive.
>
> This week I'll get my OM1n looked at, but something tells me it's BER.
>
> Let's put a price cap of US$250 or so. What would you do:
>
> 1. get another OM1n (top ones for ~200@OlyGuy)
> 2. get OM2k
> 3. get OM something else (say 2(n))
>
> I'm leaning towards the 1(n) by a long shot because haven't handled the
> OM2k, or any other body, and the 1 was so perfect and smooth it's hard to
> imagine anything short of a Leica matching that tactile feel. Then
> there's the simple and uncluttered elegance. Hg cells are no prob--I have
> a new one recently from G.Schloss sitting in a desk. TTL/OTF flash is not
> a major concern given my affinity for natural light.
> If I buy another body, I can get shooting immediately, and later get my
> current 1n fixed if it's possible. At worst, I have one bod; at best, I
> have two. One good thing about the 2k is the spot meter and multiple
> exposure and timer MLU (ok, that's three things).
>
> What words of wisdom will come my way? I should handle these in a shop,
> but till then, any comments are welcome.
