I have owned an Olympus OM-1 for ~4 yrs and have been generally very happy
with it.  How can anyone claim that it is over-priced?  It is certainly in
the same price range as the comparable Pentax, Canon, Minolta etc, and cheaper
than most...  My only complaint is with the light meter, it tends to give a 
low reading, causing pictures (particularly in the mountains, sigh) to be
slightly over-exposed.  
	Anyone else had this problem?

On other lines, now that Nikon has lowered their prices, is it worth it to
sell my OM 1 and buy a Nikon FM?  The size of these two cameras is wonderful,
and I am convinced of Nikon's superior reliability and lense quality (any
comments about the FM in this regard).  Where on earth have people been
hearing that Nikons are unreliable?????
