Admittedly my OM4 is a modified one, but I like my OM4 a great deal as
well...

Well, I *hate* to disagree with Tom (whose opinion I respect
enormously), but in this case, I must needs do so. I own an OM-4,
which I bought during its first year of manufacture (mid-80s). It's
still going strong after all these years, I've never noticed a
"battery drain" problem (though I'm sure it drains 'em faster than a
4-Ti, but then, taking them out if you're planning on storing the body
for awhile is a good idea anyways), and takes well-exposed pictures.
Last time I used it was last November (been too busy with
non-photography life), but I exposed twenty rolls of Provia in New
Mexico, it was my only camera body, and it performed flawlessly.
I think the OM-4 has an undeservedly bad rep. If you get a good price
for it, buy it. If you don't want it and the price is good, consider
hooking me up. 8^>
