I've lost track of what's serious and what's humorous, and I've deleted so many posts of late that I'm not sure where this "query" comes from. Just in case it's a serious question:

The OM-1 bodies can be retrofitted to accept smaller silver-oxide batteries. This necessitates that the meter be calibrated for the difference in voltage. John Hermanson At CamTech (for one) is able to affect this change, in fact does so automatically as part of his CLA service.

I'd recommend the 4T bodies as superior instruments, assuming you've the extra cash and have a need or desire for this advanced technology. The 3Ti's are excellent, too, by reputation--I've never owned (or operated) one--though strike me as somewhat overpriced. Otherwise, the OM-1 bodies are just fine in their own right, and for a few applications arguably better than the 4T.

Be aware that you need either an OM-1 MD (motor drive) or OM-1n body in order to avail yourself of a Winder or Motor Drive.

I hope that's clear.
