The G was an evolution of the 10. It has a modular drop in shutter
(like the OM-10 type II, serial numbers over 2,000,000), and really
flies with the motor drive. It also does auto winding to the first
frame with motor drive 2.
The G does tend to suffer from oil on the magnet, even though they moved
the magnet way up front away from the shutter gears.
