As John says the lenses are far more important than the body. Proportion your budget appropriately.

Do you mean the OM lenses by legacy? I have an OM-system, complete with 28mm, 50mm and 100mm. You are right, the 50mm 3.5 and 28mm have served me well. The 100mm f2.8 is perfect for portraits.

I made loads of excellent 24x36" prints from a 7.1 megapixel camera. Viewing distance is to be considered, you look a bigger prints from further away hence pixellation and noise are less apparent.
