Whoa!!! I'm confused now! I've always thought that the TTL metering
system of the OM line sets the exposure by taking a reading off the
shutter (or is it the film plane?) at the moment the mirror flips up and the
shutter opens.
Isn't this right??? And if so, isn't what you're seeing through the
viewfinder just an "estimate" that might be slightly different (but correct)
at the moment the shot is taken???
Confused....
