Certainly the finest looking OM ever. Simply gorgeous! The finish is way
better in person than any picture.
Agreed. There is something about the finish that needs to be viewed
with two eyes.
OTOH, no provision whatsoever for avoiding aperture stop down
shock/vibration.
Yes there is. Avoid the vibration-prone shutter speeds (which vary
from lens to lens)
Like I would memorize that - nope.
and shoot handheld.
Helps, but.
Throwing it on a Winder2 also helps.
Have you got one with the matching finish?
Fatal flaw. Perfect closet Queen.
The only (real) OM body that doesn't have this problem is the
underrated OM-2S that has the additional latency between the aperture
pre-fire and the exposure.
Doesn't seem quite true to me. The mirror/aperture pre-fire with self-timer of the OM-4(T(i)) series, while annoyingly
slow, works perfectly. The lesser OMPC and OM2000 bodies have that, too.
Nikon, of course, although already with a less vibration prone aperture mechanism, had a mechanical combination
mirror/aperture mechanism on at least the F2.
