Welcome to the list Shel,

All of the Zuiko wide angles are nice, and I am sure you would love the
21/2. As
for bodies, if you want clean and simple, and don't need/want auto
exposure or
OTF flash exposure you might add the OM-1 to your short list of bodies
to
consider. OM-1s are robust, simple, and work w/o a battery. (Meter won't
function, but everything else will.) You will need a converter for the
battery
(about $30) as they used mercury batteries which are discontinued.

If you want a choice of manual or auto exposure and OTF flash then look
at an
OM-2. The OM-2s adds program exposure and a spot metered manual mode.
OM-4ti
(OM-4t) is a currently produced body that has manual or auto exposure
with a
multiple spot metering system available.

Another great resource for buying used gear is Tom Scale's website. at
http://zuikoholic.com:201/members/members.htm  but he's to modest to
mention it.
