G'day all
After reading all of the messages recently relating to the vibration of an
OM-1 with lenses >50mm when tripod mounted, even using the mirror lockup, I
am left wondering how good the OM-3 & 3Ti are in this regard. They have
neither mirror lockup or mirror & aperture prefire. (For that matter
neither does the OM-2/2n). Does this mean that the full potential of the
longer/bulkier Zuiko lenses can not be realised with these cameras when
used on a tripod?
What about the OM-4/Ti when prefire is not practical, eg macro shots
waiting for a lull in the breeze. With the extra magnification of a macro
setup, the shutter/aperture vibration with a lens like the 90mm would
surely be pronounced.
It seems that for tripod mounted photography with lenses longer than 50mm,
if one is doing critical work for enlargement, the OM-4/Ti or OM2000 using
prefire are the only real choices. I had one day aspired to own a 3Ti if
some ever hit the second hand market at affordable prices, but maybe I'd be
better just sticking to the 4/4Ti.
