> Hi !
Welcome.

> (and how about the OM-4Ti - any different?)
It is very likely the 4Ti would be more rugged in terms of it
sustaining impacts on the titanium top and bottom plates and hence
should be considered tougher physically.
They are more reliable electrically than the OM-4 as they have
updated electronics which address the occasional problem of some 4s
developing excessive battery drain.

Updated Electronics
> 3) What are the best 50mm and medium tele (portrait) lenses (85mm-135mm)
> ?
IMO - 50mm f2 macro & 50mm f1.2 - the former for versatility and
acuity and the latter for contrast.
85mm f2, 90mm f2 macro and 100mm f2. The 85 for great
performance/price ratio. The 90 for flexibility, contrast and boke.
The 100 for acuity and contrast (don't know about boke for this
one but I suspect excellent).
The 135mm f2.8 is a pretty good performer also and is generally
cheaper than any of the others mentioned. Only available secondhand.

Some develop the battery drain problem as mentioned.
