I was wondering, does the front element rotate when focusing?
Nope.
How difficult is it to find the standard lens hood for this puppy?
Good examples should come with the hood (which is included at
retail). While the hood is of some limited use, the lens *does* have a 92
degree angle-of-view, so in some situations, flare from light sources is
unavoidable. The lens is multicoated, of course.

That seems to be the case based on the information at
http://www.taiga.ca/~esif/om-sif.htm
It seems, though, that the OM-4T or -4Ti has an electronic shutter
that doesn't afford full manual operation, or at least a wide range of
mechanical shutter speeds, if the batteries fail. Is that correct?
Yes. Mind you, batteries for the 4/4Ti are dirt cheap, really, despite
some people's moaning and groaning. Always carry spares. I've only had a
problem once in sixteen years with my OM-4 -- and that's the model that's
supposed to *eat* batteries!
