Pros: Elegant, compact design, light weight, titanium casing, metering system, superb lenses. Cons: No autofocus, but neither does a Leica . . . Limited zoom lenses.
Having been introduced by Olympus in the early 1980s as the OM-4, the OM-4 Ti ceased production in March 2003. The cost of producing this gem of a camera, using titanium and other metals instead of extruded plastics, and its associated lenses, became...
Pros: Rugged, lightweight, classic design. Most sensitive light meter of any available 35mm SLR. Cons: No autofocus. No program-mode exposure. No modern Zuiko zoom lenses available.
I bought my OM-4T in 1989. At that time it was one of the most sophisticated pro-level cameras available. It did have the absolutely most sophisticated multi-spot light metering system. Olympus were always known for having the most compact pro-level...
I don't say that lightly either. I spent a 2 year period of my life working at camera stores, and have tried MANY cameras. I can also say (shamefully) that an Olympus OM4 was the first thing I charged on a credit card that I didn't pay off that ...
Pros: Precision engineered professional all manual camera. Loyal cult following Cons: Quirky controls, no auto focus, no "program" modes

Pros: Bulletproof built, vast array of lenses, lightweight, "simplicity", clear manual layout (no fiddly menus or buttons to push) Cons: "battery consumption", price if new, no preflash with spotmetering
I started photography using a Fujica AX5 The Fujica was fun for starters but was a disaster in the electronics department. Then I saved money to get me an OM-4. That was back in '86.
Pros: lightweight; rugged; excellent lenses available; multi-spot metering Cons: no autofocus; other than multi-spot, metering is unsophisticated; must remember to set film speed; manual film advance and rewind
I own an OM-4, the precursor to the OM-4T and OM-4Ti. The "T" and "Ti" stand for "titanium", and the 4T(i) and 3T(i) have titanium bodies that make them very rugged, as well as lightweight. The 4Ti also has improved...
