The first serious camera I owned was an Olympus OM-1 way back in the late 70's. I have been a fan of Olympus cameras every since.

The two lenses I tried with this camera — the 14-42 f3.5-5.6 and the 40-150 f3.5-5.6 —were both excellent. Quality construction and fine optics make these lenses a joy to use.
