Welcome Matthew,
The usage of OM lens on the E-thingies is really welcome. The fast
tele's are great. Like that 200mm f4 OM lens will give you a 400mm f4
tele on your E-500. But, the OM wides turn into "normal" focal
lengths. i.e., the om 24mm lens is now about the same as a 48mm lens
would be on the OM body. In other words, "You win some, and you lose some".
