Olympus took out the OM-D, a digital up-date of the OM - film cameras.
What OM equipment is it fully compatible with?

It won't even take OM lenses without a massive adapter

I've used all kinds of meters over the years, but the one that
knocks spots off everything is the Gossen Sixtomat

Web_Page

Flyer_pdf (see link on page)

It's big advantages are:
All buttons are on the face, unlike some meters that have some
on the face and one or two on each side and are very fiddly
to use.

It's only 19mm thick + light and doesn't have any projecting
swivel cones etc. to get broken/falloff or scratched.

It works like a camera.... set aperture priority or shutter
priority and it gives you the other setting instantly.

Will average the readings.... especially useful for incident
readings just keep the button pressed in and move the meter
about.... the bottom scale shows the readings range measured.

Above all it's very fast to use.... even faster than
using the camera. Everybody should have one to weigh
up the possibilities of a shot before they start

Uses a bog standard AA battery.

About £60 to £70 SH (non-flash version) or £170 new.

I've got Virgin 10MB and it's rubbish.... slow speeds.... dropped
lines etc. I live too far from the BT exchange to make any sense
changing... unfortunately Virgin know that
