Hi !
Well, i have been reasonably happy with the 2000 so
far. I bought mine March 1999, have put 30+ rolls thru
it - and it's still working fine.
My idea of photography is a basic camera with a good
lens. (C*n*n AE-1, P*n*ax K1000... ) As long as you
can control the amount of light striking the film,
everything else is just fancy stuff. Maybe I am
talking like this because i have never used a OM4Ti/or
any other wonderbrick. I daresay a photograph taken
with an OM-10 would be indistinguishable from a 4Ti as
long as it's properly exposed.
The OM 2000 thus lets me concentrate on photography,
rather than the camera.
IMHNO, (in-my-humble-narrow-opinion)
