Did you listen to anything I said. This group of people is a lost cause.

*No*, it does *not* take great pics. The silly thing only opens and
closes the shutter. It has no idea what a great picture is. You need
matrix metering, remember...

Better not let this urban legend get too far. Sounds to me like you
really need a sexy Leica or a Nikon S3. Put an ugly 35-80/2.8 on the OM
and watch everyone duck for cover.

You need matrix metering, remember... matrix metering... Besides, the
OM-4t metering will just encourage reciprocity failure.... It only has
1/60th flash sync, and you never use those hilight and shadow buttons,
trust me. They're just a novelty. By the time you figure out what they
are doing, you could have dialed in the correct exposure to begin with.
I implore you, don't listen to anybody here, except C.H. Ling, and go hold
an F100.
