Last in the line of budget OM's from Olympus. Acquired as a body only,
in need of repair, illustrated here with a 28 - 70 zoom lens which I
happen to have spare. This lens proved to be a bit cloudy so I have
changed it for a Sicor XL 35 - 70mm Zoom for use and have produced the
images using that. It has produced some surprisingly good pictures for a
"pattern" lens and I think I will keep it as a fixture. I will
need to produce some pictures with an original Zuiko lens to prove the
capabilities of the camera, as it would have been, but, for personal use I
prefer the flexibility of the zoom. It does at least show the capabilty of
the metering system using the Program and ESP functions which I hastened
to add are excellent. This particular camera has restored my belief in
Olympus, which was flagging a bit after my experiences with the OM4ti.
