Tried to stay out of this......
Now have a new tripod carrier in the form of a 33Ti - it says Alfa Romeo on
the badge instead of Olympus and I can't seem to find out where to put the
film. It is manual and requires you think a bit before using the controls
;-)
The use of i here normally means "injection" but this one has four carbs. -
guess the designer/marketing chaps use Olympus products ;-)
You can't own a letter as far as i'm concerned, so i,i,i,i,i,i,i, yeah,
that feels good :-)
The local Olympus recommended servicing agents told me that they can
replace OM4 boards with OM4Ti boards but that F280 flash functionality is
not available in an OM4 body with a replacement OM4Ti board.
I have a couple of OM4s, one of which is supposed to be running an OM4Ti
board. There is no difference in functionality between them.
All the best,
