Hi all,

BTW, for the test results I reported a little while ago, I ran the OM4Ti on 
self-
timer which would have raised the mirror and pre-fired the aperture.

ALSO, I have sent two negs of shots (@ 18 & 28) of a looong brick building, 
taken with the Samyang 18-28, back for printing at 6x9 & 8x12 inches.

Should have results back at the end of the week.

Lastly, if you look at the aperture stop-down mechanism on the OM bodies, 
the part that is visible is a vertically-running lever - that stops and starts 
quite 
rapidly. Some time, if I ever get one in bits, I will look to see if the ends 
of the 
motion can be damped or slowed. Compensating the moments of motion  
would be beyond my capabilities.

Brian
