I have an OM1 and an Om4.
Lens wise, I have a 50mm 1.8 and the 1.4 - both are sharp but the 1.8 is incredibly sharp. Look for a 1.8 with a serial number over 1000000 - the latest ones are the best (I'm told).I have an old 135mm and a 28. Can't remember the aperture on them, but they're both the cheapest available and are both old and war torn and aren't very sharp as a result of that. FWIW I got my partner a mint condition 135mm for £35 but I haven't seen any photos from it to speak on the sharpness.
I really love the 50mm 1.4, a steady hand and 800iso film really let's you shoot in very low light. There is a 1.2 50mm but they're about £300, while you can get the 1.4 for about £90 - a complete bargain if you ask me!

Who shoots with an Olympus OM here? Just got gifted a OM2n and looking for prime lens recommendations. Feels like a nicely made camera!
