Too bad. I bought an OM-4T at Alt a couple of years ago. Had excellent attention - and later service when the shutter became unreliable. Also bought a lens or two, same good attention. Enjoyed looking around Henry's, but they didn't have anything I needed at the time.

Hi,

I took the trek downtown today. I was amazed! I found a parking spot right
away.<g>
Anyway, I had a look in both Henry's and Alt Camera Exchange.  Since I'm
inexperienced about the prices, I can not really comment, but I would have
to say that I didn't appreciate the almost condescending attitude of the guy
who was showing me a OM 4T body in Alt's.  It looked in very good shape, but
it had a badly scratch focusing screen (which he was willing to replace).
The whole experience just felt slimy.   He wanted $1099.00 CND for is and
wasn't willing to come down much more.  I felt it was a little too much and
when I told him, he just brushed me off and moved on to someone else.  After
a few moments, I may have changed my mind, but I don't think I would
purchase any thing from there in the future (unless it is an unbeatable
bargain.  I'm not that proud <smile>).
