Hi Paul
I think that is a very good price if it is in good working order as
claimed. If you could get an agreement for a refund if something
proves to be amiss I would go for it. I believe the champaign
version is not so much a model, rather just a lack of easily shed
black paint, though it could have a coating but I suspect it is bare
metal. Anyone know for sure?
By the way there is an OM4 with a 28mm f2.8, powerbounce grip, T32
and I thing a winder2, sitting in the window of that chemist that had
the N*k*on F5 here in Limerick.
Gary, I think you are right about there being an intrinsic problem in
getting paint to adhere to titanium - Why, oh, why didn't Olympus
just anodise the 4Ti ? Then we wouldn't have the peeling paint
problem. We could have had some realy lurid and durable colour
schemes then. ;-)
