a roll of 200 color negative at 400 last week and it came out quite
useable.

Well . . . I need to put my name on this roster too. I've shot up to
several frames at a whack with the compensation knob turned on the
OM-4. It used to turn rather easily until a wonderful CLA from John H.
included an update to the newer type. That one shouldn't happen
again. Also have shot from one to three frames occasionally with the
shutter speed ring in the "red 1/60th" position on both the OM-2S and
OM-4. With Kodachrome 64, it's rather unforgiving (the gods of chrome are
harsher on mere mortals). Fortunately I usually catch such events nearly
immediately (the +/- viewfinder display and the sound the mechanical 1/60
makes) but there have been a few times I wondered how long the compensation
knob was turned off of neutral until the film was developed.
