Hi all

Lee Hawkins has a web page with images of the OM2 pre-78 and post-78
curtain patterns. I was fiddling with my old (sadly now defunct) OM10,
and noticed how completely different its pattern is to the OM2. It has a
black area vertically up the centre of the curtain. Did this imply they
saw a different main type of photograph being taken with this camera, eg
portraits of standing people as opposed to landscape-type shots, or was
the whole system of reading the light completely different?? Did Olympus
do other experimentation with patterns? What does the OM4 have?

Curious!

Cheers
Robert Ashdown
