I think that the possible advantage is relative availability/cost of
equipment. Let's face it, Oly stuff isn't exactly bargain basement
equipment.

Subject: [OM] Why do photo teachers recommend Pentax?
My friend is about to take a B&W photo class as part of her being an art
major... Same thing happened with my ex-gf, the teachers recommend a
used Pentax MF as THE camera to have for the class..
As far as "Bang for the buck" I don't see how my Om1n can be beat..
What am I missing here that the photo teachers know or don't know or
conspire??
I would think an Om1+50mm/f1.8 is the cats meow..
