Pentax was then cheaper, and as good ;-) The trend/fashion in photoclasses all
started with the Spotmatics, and their range of fairly good lenses was more
affordable too I remember.
I have had a Spotmatic F, an ESII, and an OM2n with similar FL lenses and
apertures, and can’t still find a real difference in the results :-) The Oly
was easier to use regarding lens swapping (bayonet vs 42mm thread). The
impediment disappered when the K series was issued.
But I’d wait - psychologically, she might find it uneasy to use gear her kins
and sheperds do not fully approve of …
My two cents
