I think the OM-PC is a great 'carry around' body to use with your Zuikos...
The OM-10 with the FC manual shutter speed control is suitable, though they
are reputed to be less durable in some respects. I have one OM-F (-30) body,
and the 'focus confirmation' seems to be a little gimmicky, and the body
uses 5 (!) batterys... for the functionality of it I think the OM-G (-20) is
better. All of these can be had cheap enough to make them good
semi-disposable cameras for embedding in railroad tracks, remotely
triggering from 3ft from the edge of a racetrack, etc... of course you're
still risking a good lens there, and a winder.
