I also second the OM2000 since it provides aperture shot-down and mirror lift 
when on Self timer. One has only to go to Gary's test site to see the 
improvement in image sharpness this yields. Also, it is totally manual but 
has spot-metering when the electronic meter is used. Considering the 
eventual death of electronic circuit, complete manuality ( is that a valid 
word? 
 (now it is !!)) must have a lot going for it. I realise it is not a real OM.

Also though I have a (smooth) OM1, and an equally smooth OM2 I still have 
a soft spot for my first OM10 despite having needed maybe 3 magnet cleans 
in 20 + years.
