my original post regarding my problems with an -2s and -4 may not have
stated that my problems were when using the self timer. i was using 50 and
100 speed film, so handholding in the morning in yosemite was difficult.
the temperature was around 30 degrees, which doesn't seem too cold for
proper camera use. and people all around me were taking pictures just fine
with various cameras. i guess the best solution is an -4 for metering, and
using a -1 for self timer, with the mirror locked up. maybe the -4t works
better in the cold than the -4s, but i have had really poor luck with all my
OM's in the cold. maybe it's just me........?
but i did own an EOS-1, and i lived in fairbanks, alaska, where it is very,
very, very cold. and it always worked fine. the lithium batteries didn't
last long, but the camera worked in the cold weather.
last question: has anyone else had problems with an OM-4 locking up when
around moisture? is it possible for there to be a short when the camera is
in moist conditions???
thanks..
