My first olympus! My first camera, probably because of Cheryl Tiegs advertising

purchased my OM1n + 50mm (my first SLR).
I love the XA (I've since replaced it.) With the A-11 fill flash is easy.
Aperture sets to f4 when flash is selected, but I just stop down some more and
presto no shady faces out on the patio.
