Haha, so true. I bought an old OM1n, had it serviced, got a 50/1.4 and 28/3.5 for it, and can't imagine using any other SLR now.

I'd probably sell my M2 before this if I had to -- and I love the M2!

What about using a 400 film, and putting a yellow or light orange filter on in very bright light? That'll drop the speed and (typically) make the sky look more interesting.
