The OM-4 is a great camera, but prone to the battery drain problem. The key
test is to turn it to battery test mode and let it beep. If the beep shuts
itself off in 30 seconds or so, it has the 4T circuit. That makes it a
much, much better buy.
Now if it was me, I wouldn't pay more than $250-300 for it. Much more than
that and patience will find you a 4T for less than $400.
