Olympus OM20 - A Great Little Workhorse

I've been really fond of Olympus cameras since my brother had an OM10 when we were kids, so it only seemed right for me to get one when I returned to film photography in the last few years. The OM10s seemed to be fetching more money than I wanted to spend, so I opted for an OM20 instead. The OM20 was released in 1983 or thereabouts to run alongside the OM10 although it didn't stay in production for very long. Like the OM10, the OM20 has "off the film" metering, which works very well. The OM20 also has an integrated manual mode rather than having to rely on the plug in manual adapter as used by the OM10.
