Why are you using an OM instead of a new Nikoncanonpentaxminolta AF? A good
RF has sort, of, you know, really good karma. Look at the 'new' Leica 'O'
series (I know, not an RF!) - why would anyone buy one for any rational
reason whatsoever. Tiny fixed lens, gunsight, no meter, murder to load and
you have to recut the film leader. No 'features' at all! Collectors?
Seekers of challenges?
If we were all being rational, I suspect we'd all have a Nikon and three
lenses. Ah well.
