 We cannot just say we need support from Olympus, we also need to
 support them. A new mechanical camera is not cheap to make, are we
 willing to pay $500 for a new OM1n.

It seems to me that the OM3Ti is the new OM1. The cost of recapturing that OM1 refinement, building a mechanical metering system would probably more than offset the savings of non-titanium top and bottom plate. In todays industrial economy the mechanical meter is probably much more costly than the sophisticated spot meter in the OM3Ti. Finding a new well made mechanical camera for $500 is just not going to happen. Besides, who would then buy the OM3Ti which is already expensive due to low volume.
