Realizing that I stand a good chance of being impaled on a stake, my well
poisoned, my fields salted, and my name wispered as a warning to
children...do people actually like the shutter speed ring placement on OM's?
I mean the darn thing is fiddly and hard to find, especially with a large
lens and tripod ring. I absolutely hate it. I think an OM-10 with its manual
shutter speed accessory might be just the ticket to enjoy my Zuiko glass
more. Is the ring supposed to be a desirable feature, or was it an
engineering neccessity that was carried through the line as a perverse
tribute to the OM-1? It gets worse with my OM-4, because the prism housing
obscures the view of the speed setting, not to mention that confounded and
thrice darned little button that you have to push for "bulb". I keep
thinking I'll get used to the novelty of this arrangement, but I haven't
yet. Promise me I will learn to love it, and I will try harder to believe
that Maitani's genius as a designer is absolute. -Marcus (who otherwise
loves his Zuiko's; and his compact, full featured camera bodies)
