Chris, the OM-3 has off-the-film metering just like the all the other bodies
except the OM-1, what were you thinking of? :-)
As Bill knows, I do have an OM-3 I am getting ready for sale, and likely a
4Ti Black too. Previews - even the OOF shots :-( which should speak for
the cosmetics of both cameras are available at www.hemy.me.uk/OM_FS/album
but note that the OM-3 will also have a new back. I have in mind USD500 for
the OM-3 and USD700 for the OM-4Ti.

OM3s and OM3Tis do turn up pretty often. The 3Ti is very expensive though,
normally well over USD1000. OM3s are normally much less expensive and just
as good, even though they don't have the lovely paint job (charcoal grey) of
the 3Ti. Both have the same spot metering system, manual shutter speed and
exposure control and lovely viewfinder. The shutter is purely mechanical as
well.
The advantages that the 3Ti has over the 3 is its off-the-film metering and
its ability to use the F280 flash at all shutter speeds.
But the OM1 is also fully manual, has a mechanical shutter and is a delight
to hold and use. You could buy one in good, perhaps even excellent,
condition for less than USD200. Many members of the List, I am sure, would
be happy to sell you one (or more ;-)).
