Basically, threefold:
1 - I like to really "compose" a shot - photography can be a form of art
- I don't need any automatic telling me what speed / aperture to use
2 - F280 Full Syncro
3 - This is a gut thing like i prefer a mechanical auto winding watch
over anything batteries may offer featurewise
and maybe the fact that the oldest one you will be able to buy may not
be older than 1995 ?
Batteries are not the big issue - i regularly carrie spares aplenty
Ohh, did I mention "sound" ? ;-))
And, I'm completing my OM Body collection.....
Kind regards,
Jan

Consistanty, I don't understand the allure of the 3Ti and it's inflated pricetag vs a 4Ti.
Battery independance? How hard is it to take 2-3 sets of button batteries along?
Maaaaybeee cold weather liabilities? I guess you could argue that one; the 4Ti
craps out at low temps. (but a couple of OM-1's are a lot cheaper.)
I can't think of anything else that someone could really need a 3Ti vs a 4Ti for. And you give up the AE, which IMO frees me from a lot of decisions when I'm trying to take fast moving pictures.
Can anyone enlighten me why they're SO desirable that people are paying $1500?

A 3Ti for $1500 new? That's actually pretty good right now. Someone should
snap it up.

For what it's worth: Wolf Camera Outlet store in Dallas has one, new in
the
box. $1500. Ouch.

Hi folks,
having recently subscribed, I wonder if anybody on the list had an OM-3
Ti for sale (fat chance, I know) that's in excellent condition.
Im located in Germany.
Please contact me off-list at Jan.Sturm@xxxxxxx if you would be willing
to part with such a beauty.
Kind regards,
Jan
