I know! Which is why I couldn't believe how much nicer it was
than the OM-1 and OM-2 finders I know so intimately well by now.
I guess it has something to do with this: The OM-1 finder is
spectacular. Like in, no other SLR easily comes close, and
certainly not a single Digital SLR currently made.
The fact that the OM-3Ti (and, I suspect all other 3- and 4-series
bodies
with a 2-series focusing screen, I never tried them) is just so much
brighter, crisper, and higher-contrast, just puts it over the top.
The biggest difference, I find, is that it does not at all flare, where
the OM-1 finder is very prone to flaring, even though the pictures
turn out fine.
We're talking about that last 5% of greatness here.
