Some remarks,
I once was also infidel to our beloved OM´s and bought an EOS-1.

Don´t know if that has changed much, but the build in film transport (I
wouldn´t call it motor) was noisy and slow. Most embarasing was the film
rewind, it sounded similar to an cheap p&S. The Booster pack will speed
up things with a lot more noise, not comparable with an EOS-5.

Makes me wonder, many dedicated EOS photogs complain about the
difficulty to focus manualy with the super bright focusing screens,
which are optimized for AF use. I´ve heard several opinions, that the
less bright screens used in the F4 are much better to focuse manualy.
I personaly found the EOS-1 finder not brighter and better to focus than
an OM-4. Manual focusing is no joy with AF lenses, their mechanical
quality is far inferior to Zuikos, save some multi kilo buck tele lenses.

Probably your OM-4 is just diry.

And probably even more dificult to focus on it, because this screen is
comparable with the screens used in the amateur bodys, user of this
complain realy much and relativly praise the standard EOS-1 screens.

Yeah especialy the spot metering button, it´s quite akward to change
mettering pattern with an EOS-1 and this has not changed with the EOS-1n.
An Canon representive has admited this to me, but explained that they
didn´t changed it in order not to confuse the user.
