Wow theres some nice cameras in this thread!
I just starting putting together an OM kit about 6 months ago.
This is what i have so far (plus several flashes and a winder and a coupel bags of genuine Olympus accessories). I dont have the biggest budget for cameras at the momemt, but my OM collection has been very economical so far. Probably only cost me about $40 in total. I've been lucky enough to get a few good deals and get rid of some equipment i didnt need.
I cant help looking for new OM gear 😱 My favourite lens so far is the 28mm f/2. I bought it dirt cheap thinking it was the f/2.8 as advertised. Was over the moon to discover i had a mint f/2 isntead! 😀

Boring photo i know, but i couldnt figure out how to fit everything in...
 
28-135mm f4-4.5 - have one on 800si for 5 years, actually it was my first camera/lens combination. Funny thing about this zoom - since it was my first and only lens for quite a while - I naturally didn't understand why people tell lenses should be stopped down a stop or two for best quality, f4 or f8 I just could not tell diffence with this one. I don't use it much lately - I prefer ergonomics, weight and size of OM body with prime lens to this rig.

Don't laugh at the size of this lens, it's a very good performer... 🙂

Another old Leica LTM meets new Pentax. I must say I am having fun and although my wife my ask "what in the world are you doing now." She isn't complaining about me wasting film.

Another less evil than normal dSLR. Finding and combining adapters to get infinity focus was a bit of a challenge.

Nice 200/4, although even higher on my wish list is the 280/4.8. This 1960's Telyt is "Not So Good" (TM), but the build quality looks stupendous. Having failed to create the übertelephoto, Midlands lavished attention to the mechanical engineering. Small touches like 19 aperture blades! Erwin might be right about the optical performance, but at least digital can address low contrast. 🙂

Nice looking camera there, Colyn. Please don't ruin it and tell us you paid $4 for it at a yard sale. Similar to your $10 Leica.

No I had to shell out a Ben Franklin along with a couple of Andrew Jackson's. The lens though I got at the show for $15..
 
Will: How many times do I have to tell you. STOP ...... IT A pancake on a Chinon. Jeeze, man, I don't have much money, I really need to get a better low light rig (read: ZI + Nokton 40), and I just don't want to see any more PORN!!!!
 
After using SLR and RFF cameras, I needed something new to exite me in photography. I bought a 180mm/5.5 Schneider MF or LF [?] lens! Then I searched in my mystery bag of adapters until I found the right set-up to get fousing just right for portraits! I used a Canon FD camera with Pentacon 6-Canon FD adapter, followed by some taping of the lens in place inside the adapter. This lens is quite sharp.

LOL!

ZI + Nokton? Naah, the ultimate low-light rig is the black Pen-FT and 42/1.2 H.Zuiko 😀
