I believe the OM -10 was the last "metal" camera for that era. They are
very durable and you can pick one up (working) on eBay w/ 50mm f1.8 lens
for $30.00+. Since it is/was the first consumer camera, it did not have all
the options as it predecessors. OM-G started the plastic round of bodies.
Regardless, your original choices are great. CYA
