Get unglued if you want but others are entitled to their opinions. My
experience certainly does not match yours. Most people I know have had
better results with the OM-1 and the OM-3 type bodies in cold weather than
they have with the OM-4's. /jim

Ok, I'm about to come unglued here. I've had far more problems
with an OM-1md and OM-2md in the cold than I ever did with my
OM-2S and OM-4. My Om-1 jammed, tightened up, misloaded and
about every other mechanical failure you can think of in the
cold. And how about the fact that the shutter mechanism gets
less accurate the colder it gets.
Get real. OM-4Ti not suitable for cold-weather conditions?
This is a PROFESSIONAL camera body we're talking about.
