That's a good, close to great price for the OM-30.  I find it pretty useful.
I think of it as an OM-G (20) with an in-focus indicator. The arrows
indicate in-focus on any lens, not just the wierd one, so it's great for low
light (although I haven't tried that) or for teaching young kids (which I
have).

I think it is a nice choice.
