Yes, that would be another worry. I'm sure that if an OM-4T arrived in my
Christmas stocking I'd make good use of it, but I have a dozen or so other
cameras - non SLR and no spot metering - and I'd hate to get hooked on spot
metering to the extent that they'd be redundant like your OM-40. (I'm not
really a collector but during the '60s I disposed of quite a few good
cameras to acquire others in the hunt for the perfect camera and there have
been so many that I would have liked to have back again that I stopped
selling any from the mid '80s when acquiring 'new' ones.)

Incidentally, isn't it strange that with all the numbers they had at their
disposal, Olympus named two models OM-4T and OM-40 to sound very similar?
