Does this mean that Olympus now ships OM-4Ti's and OM-3Ti's without MD
caps??:-) (or are they different from the older OM models?) As Olympus
uses up their supply of stock, will the cameras ship with fewer and
fewer required body parts?? This could be good. Once they run out of the
electronics that make up the metering system, we won't have to worry
about battery drain at all!!
Something to think about.....
