John -- Raises a question (in my mind at least) Prolly we.ve been thru this
but I don't recall. The
top and bottom plates of the 4T are titanium, as compared to the brass of the
OM4. What about the
body? I've seen a couple of posts indicating that the body is also Ti, but I
suspect that this may be
in error, and that the only Ti is in the covers.
Also, while I'm on my soapbox (?) -- why can't the improved flash function of
the 4T be incorporated
into a 4 if one upgrades the pc board. Obviously, the flash shoe would also
need to be changed, but
are there other electronic/mechnical problems as well??
Thanks
Craig
