Surprisingly, the OM-4 really isn't much bigger than an OM-2, at least in
size.

OM-2 - 136x83x50mm
OM-4 - 136x84x50mm

So the OM-4/OM-4T is 1 mm taller

Weights are also surprising:

OM-2 - 520g
OM-4 - 540g
OM-4T - 510g

The OM-4T is actually LIGHTER than the OM-2.

It sure doesn't feel that way in your hands, though. The OM-2 feels smaller.

Walt, the OM-2 is a great camera. Easy to use on auto when you want, but on
manual its essentially an OM-1 with very minimal +/- viewfinder meter info.
Almost exactly the same size and handling as the OM-1, and just slightly
smaller than the OM-4 and its kin. My first OM was an OM-1 (that was all
there was in 1975) and then I got an OM-2n when they came out... I didn't
get the OM-4's until much later. Once you use and like the OM-1 you need to
experience the OM-2. Actually, you need one in chrome and one in black...

OM-1's, -2's, -4's, (no -3's yet) and no OM-oney...
