I wonder that too, I got my first OM4Ti in about 1990
at the tender age of 18 (me not the camera) I had it
for 10 until the end of last year when I sold it to my
father, it had been to drunken parties....and other
things etc...;-) and had no marks on it apart from two
tiny marks where the strap rings touch the body! I do
tend to care for things more than most people though.
Any pros care to inform us how they manage to battle
scar their OM's etc????
