Then Paul S. responds:
 <<The OM-4 exposure memory function *does* work in center-weighted mode. If
you
 engage the memory lever the exposure will be locked at the value determined
by
 the OTF system, during exposure. Subsequent exposures will be the same. >>

Then I jump in with:

To use the OM-4 exposure memory function to "lock" an off-composition center-
weighted exposure reading you have to waste a shot on the desired off-
composition area of the scene. Then you can take your re-composed shot with
that exposure reading  -- major headache and waste of film IMHO.
