By my reading of the SIF for the OM-PC, Paul, ESP is OTF - the SIF speaks of
determination of shutter speed at the point of exposure.

When using spot metering in auto mode on the OM-4 the exposure is set before
the shutter is fired, when you make your readings. OTF is center-weighted
only.

Does anyone know if the ESP metering on the OM-PC/OM-40 is OTF or determined
before the shutter is fired?
