I also have an OM-4 (with TI circuit), and OM-2 and an OM-2n and I prefer the
OM-4. Once you get used to the spot metering you use it a lot and I
personally wouldn't want to be without it since I use it in about 25% of all
my shots. Also the one big advantage of the OM-4 over the 2S is the multi
spot metering. Spot metering alone is great, but the multi spot (up to 8
spots) capability of the -4 is absolutely faboulous!!
I'd buy an OM-4 over a 4t any day since the prices of the 4t are through the
roof and great 4s can be had for about 30% of the price for a t(i). jsut
check the circuitry.
the OM-4 is quickly becoming my mainstay, I love my OM-2s for the fact that
they are just a history camera in itself and are pieces of beauty unmatched
by any camera ever before and after.
