Tom, you're admitting that the OM-3Ti you sold me is a turkey???? <g>
Sorry to disagree with you on this one. I actually purchased it from you
for my brother, who thinks it's the greatest OM ever (he's got at least 10
OMs - every model except a 2S - so it's an honest comparison). In fact, he
has since obtained a second 3Ti and we're thinking about a third. He loves
that fact that he gets a purely mechanical camera with the OM-4 style
metering system (he's a heavy spot-meter user) and F-280/TTL flash
compatibility. And he says it just "feels better" than all the others. He
often has to shoot medical equipment - like the shot at
http://www.dantroy.com/industrial/doctor.html - where the hospital asks
that he not use an electronic camera (they claim electronic cameras
interfere with the sensitive electronics in the equipment). He likes the
OM-3Ti for these situations.
