Put this little kit together because some parts I got in another sale, and others I got cheap. Basically a full Program only camera, but you can add an optional Manual Control Module to allow setting of the aperture and shutter speed. And the focusing is powered, not auto, controlled by a thumbwheel on the back of the camera. Supposedly, it was upgraded from the clunky focus control on the OM77, and worked very well.

Wasn't doing anything on New Years Day, so I took it for a spin up by the airport. It handeled well in the cool weather, and if it had been colder, I could have operated it with gloves on. I used a collapsible hood, as the only one I could find was way too much money for what it's worth. There was a bit of corner cut-off at 35mm, but after that it wasn't noticable.
