YUP!
Nice chart. You missed the OM-2000: Mirror and aperture pre-fire,
combined with the self-timer; this is subject to a 1 or more sec. delay,
depending on the how the lever is set.
The shortness of that delay makes it much more suitable for landscape
work where you often have to race to beat wind gusts or variable clouds.
Regarding the OM-10 through PC, I believe these all have a mirror which
initially only goes up 3/4ths when using the self-timer. If that isn't
an example of stripping something useful off a cheaper model, although
perhaps unintentionally in this case.
