I was highly blessed to be able to pick up my OM-6D for just over
$600. It has already earned its keep a few times around. But I'm very
much of the feeling that a live-view full-frame will be my next
purchase. I see no reason for optical viewfinder when there is
essentially no usable focusing aids and the screen is not designed to
be focused on anyway. I can usually get my way there, but it isn't
like using a real OM body with 2-13 screen.
As to the bag-o-stuff that KQ has, I can speak to the gloriousness of
the OM-3Ti, 28/2, 100/2 and 35-80. Also, the "lowly" 300/4.5 is an
extremely capable lens with a look/feel to the images that is
unmatched by other lenses. I really leaned on this lens a lot last
week. I got images that I never got before.
The 21/2 is the one lens that I'm slobbering like a fool over. But
something will probably have to go...
