^ Good choice!
I used a Olympus OM-2 for years. Nice camera, but I really wish I bought into the Pentax system instead. Why?
1. The LX you had there is a great camera. Effing great.
2. Pentax lenses were the equal or anyone's, and generally less expensive. They were kinda noted for good lens coatings and less lens flare than most.
3. They made cameras just as compact as the OM series.
4. The K-1000 was an inexpensive second body. That meant you could carry BW film in one camera and K25 in the other.
