You are a legend! Thanks for going to the trouble of doing this test and
posting the results. Since I personally know no-one who owns an OM4Ti,
and in fact have only ever picked one up once, it has been impossible
for me to do this.You have restored a macro-addicts faith in the 4Ti,
I'll continue my attempt to obtain one.
I've leant huge amounts from this list from people like yourself!
Thanks again
