As far as sleep to shot timing goes, I've found the OM-4 (which I'm
using for the Kodachrome project) more irritating than I ever have
found the E cameras to be. But the circumstance is special in nature
because the camera is usually on tripod, often with a cable release
screwed in, and the camera goes to sleep and I lose my multispot
readings. It's even tricky to get the camera to wake up again as you
have to push in the cable release far enough to wake it up without
going so far as to take the picture.
My retrospective on the OM system is that I'd like to have had an
OM-2N with multispot metering or an OM-4 with an on-off switch.
Still, it's a blast to be shooting slide film again with an OM camera.
I need to use the memo switch more!
