It's discussing the superiority of the OM-1 vs.. the OM-4Ti in lens
testing. >>
It is nice that there is a discussion board which follows these
typically student produced web pages. I'm more comfortable obtaining
fact then generating and recycling "spin" and conventional wisdom (or is
it, at worst, ignorance?). Boy, was that board filled with it. In
pursuit of truth, one of our disciples spoke:

Hey, the OM-4 has mirror lockup & aperture prefire. And I believe us
some other cameras also have this feature that works with the self
timer. It's
not just the mere lock up and the shutter that cause problems with
vibration. It's also the automatic diaphragm shutting down the causes
problems.
There's been quite a discussion in the Olympus list, and Gary Reese has
found that the OM 4, using the self timer, is sharper than the OM1 using
mirror lock up.

Unfortunately, no one in the following postings picked up on the
significance of vibrations from the automatic diaphragm subsystem. Pity
them, because we possess the tools and knowledge to get technically
superior shots (when we need them), while they play with their mirror
lockups.
