Hi Alan,
I've used both bodies for a number of years and while I never compared them
directly (mmmmm..... a new test- OM-PC vs. OM-4Ti in a head-to-head
contest)....I have been pleasantly surprised in how well the OM-PC copes with
difficult lighting situations. I have one preface- maybe those shots you took
with both bodies did not have too difficult lighting. Only you can tell us if
you used the 4-Ti's unique controls when using that body.( Hilite, Shadow,
spot, multi-spot) One other possibility- - If you're using print film, I
think the combination of wide exposure latitude and the automatic minilab
type of processing plays a huge part in the end result.
If you shot slide film I think you'd see a difference between bodies. If you
are shooting slide film, then the results are a testament to the OM-PC's ESP
meter, and your talents. But I think in order to draw a conclusion, we must
know how deep you went with the 4-ti's features. Heck, either way, you should
be thrilled if your results are "keepers", IMO.
Regards,
George S.
