HiLIST,
I use the OM4Ti & OM2SP and love these cameras for their reliability and
ergonomics.
The reason for MrMAITANI using the Shutter Speed ring on the lens mount of the
body is 'because the total mechanical OM1 and electromagnetic shutter speed
assembly OM3.OM4 is at he bottom of the camera, unlike the NIKON,CANON cameras
where in the 1970's used to be in the top half of the body. This was done
byMrMAITANI to make the OM series compact and practical.
If you remove the lens mount you can see the shutter ring driving a gear at the
bottom, which changes or sets the desired shutter speed.'
This is also clearly explained in one of the VISIONAGE issues titled 'the OM
story'
Friends, this is a very neat system, so, just enjoy it and don't worry about it.
Keep using the OMs out there.Sunil Manga.
