Don't listen to those other people, you don't want one! repeat, You
don't want one. OK, Just because no other new camera (you don't want
one) has -5EV metering, (which you *really* never ever use) *And* you
are limited to 8 measly spot readings - hence you really don't need one
of these because you can get a new camera with matrix metering that
takes more than 8 spot readings all at once, so you don't even have to
think about what you are doing. It's really too much work to hunt
around the scene trying to figure out what you should meter on, all
those zone things, and by then you will have lost your composition with
too much thinking. The OM-4t is no fun at all, so you really don't want
one. Trust me. Besides, you have to change the batteries at least once
a year, sometimes even within 6 months because you hate using it so
much. It's a dead camera system, listen to your instincts, you don't
want one. Get another brand, you need auto-focus and auto-thinking.
Those other cameras are so much smarter than we can ever be. You'll
wear out your thumb with *manual* film advance. Who can bother with
that these days, one more thing you have to think about, and you'll
miss the shot because you forgot to advance the film. It's really a
drag. With another system, you'll even be able to get a digital SLR
body to go with your lenses. Leave the OM's for the old farts that need
a few more spares for their dying camera system. There is no
intelligence to be had getting an OM-4t. You don't really want one. You
should sell those other lenses and get some auto-smart intelligent
camera system, not an OM-4t. (So what lenses do you have for sale?)
