The titanium top an bottom are so light (compared to brass) they feel like
they're made of plastic.

| Surprisingly, the OM-4 really isn't much bigger than an OM-2, at least in
| size.
|
| OM-2 - 136x83x50mm
| OM-4 - 136x84x50mm
|
| So the OM-4/OM-4T is 1 mm taller
|
| Weights are also surprising:
|
| OM-2 - 520g
| OM-4 - 540g
| OM-4T - 510g
|
| The OM-4T is actually LIGHTER than the OM-2.
|
| It sure doesn't feel that way in your hands, though. The OM-2 feels
smaller.

| Walt, the OM-2 is a great camera. Easy to use on auto when you want, but
on
| manual its essentially an OM-1 with very minimal +/- viewfinder meter
info.
| Almost exactly the same size and handling as the OM-1, and just slightly
| smaller than the OM-4 and its kin. My first OM was an OM-1 (that was all
| there was in 1975) and then I got an OM-2n when they came out... I didn't
| get the OM-4's until much later. Once you use and like the OM-1 you need
to
| experience the OM-2. Actually, you need one in chrome and one in black...
