I have been using OM cameras for more than 10 years, except a OM4T all my
other OM cameras are second-hand, and now I own five, before that I had
own another seven, except a very cheap old OM1 sometimes the mirror cannot
return, non of them had any mechanical or working failure. But they do had
some minor (less than 1 stop) exposure problem that require tuning. Of
course you cannot expect a camera that never fail, selling a failed camera
will not guarantee your new one can work forever.
I heard from my two friends, they were Coxtxx fans, but they had very bad
experience on their cameras. One told me that there was light leakage on
his cameras and the other told me that he had an experience of having four
Coxtxx cameras but one day he had no camera to use, because all of them
were under repair, so he changed to Nxkxn. But the story was very old (the
RxS II years) I hope you are good luck with the newer stuff.
(the above is a true story)
