I aquired an om4ti from a list member here a few months ago. I have used
the spot meter but never used the multi spot. For me one of the big
advantages over my om2 and om3 is the self timer. I take a lot of
architecture, sculptures and night photos - so things that can't run away.
The ability to take photos with the appature and mirror already moved has
improved the resolution I see in the scans of the negatives compared to a
tripod and cable release.
The adjustement for eye sight may or may not be of much use to you.
I certainly could have used the 2000 shutter speed when I went to the
grand canyon several years ago. With my head out of the window of the
co-piolot seat I had a om2 and a 50mm. On auto with the appature closed
right down I was over exposed at 1/1000!
If these features are not any ues to you how about an om2spot? I think the
spot only works in manual mode but then the om3 I got after the om2 does
not even have an automatic mode!

James
