[OM] Confession!

Erm. How can I put this?!!
Just bought an Olympus OM 707 (OM77) with AF 50mm lens. Reason?(there must
be one!) It was cheap. It feels like a brick. It needs 4 (yes FOUR) AAA
batteries.  I'll have to find somewhere else to keep it...it just doesn't
look right next to the other OMs (1, 2, 10, 40 (PC)).

Hell, how do I use it? It has about 8 buttons to press!(ON/OFF, reset,
AF/PF (auto/power focus?),F4 (flash), Drive (winder), AE lock (aperture
priority?) and PF/Program Shift??
 BUT no manual focus ring and NO aperture ring!!!!!

It'll respond in some fashion with a manual OM Zuiko 50mm lens on, BUT it
has a mind of it's own with the AF lens.

Has anyone tamed one of these?
HELP please.

Neal
