Hmmmm. Given what I just read, Olympus should've been able to sell
wheelbarrows full of OM-3Ti's in Canada -- particularly in the Prairies
(today's the first day in weeks that the temperature's risen *above* -15
Celsius [that's about +5 degrees Fahrenheit for the SI-challenged... 8^> ]).
These are not atypical temperatures for Edmonton (or much of the Canadian and
U.S. Prairies) in the winter, and the only camera I have that works reliably is
the OM-1n. The -2s and the -4 I save for above zero Celsius conditions, unless
I'm very briefly out-of-doors.
