Trying to focus on K-mount and M Became a 1st party lens snob too, fewer Sigma than previously. OM1 a brand I allways was interested in since I bought for my daughter a 2nd hand OM 10, she used all the time being an architecture student.
Specialists told me the OM1 was the real good idea of camera concept. I don't remember.. I know that lately I've been using a Panagor to get in close on things.. A Panagor is an auto macro converter which turns any lens into a macro lens.. Set up this way it'll turn ANY background into a wash of colour..

Their products were designed and made by other companies under contract, then sold under Jaca brand names. They are most famous for their Elicar and Panagor brand lenses, made by a variety of Japanese lens manufacturers which included Komine and Kino Precision. According to various trademark filings see below , the Elicar and Panagor brands were used for a wide range of products including cameras, interchangeable camera lenses, automatic zoom lenses, telephoto lenses, wide-angle lenses, macro lenses, close-up lenses, video lenses, electronic flash units, camera adapters, microscope adapters, camera rails, filters, reverse adapters, bellows, extension tubes, exposure meters, slide duplicators and copiers, micro-focus adjusters, and tripods.

She uses it on the crappiest 3rd-party zoom lens imagineable and the results are still pretty damn good actually. I think she usually shoots around f8 or more, but it's a LOT better than you might think.
It's definitely a cheap way to play around with super wide angles without having to pay a ton of money for a really expensive specialty lens that you probably wouldn't find a lot of use for overall. I wish I could remember the brand of the converter she has, but it's definitely glass. I've got an old 0.
