And they would be right! It's my impression that all the OM single digit
cameras were considered "Professional" cameras.

I experienced this first-hand last year while shooting scenics in the
Okanagan (hic!) Valley in British Columbia with my OM-4 (not even the 4T or
Ti!) using a Manfrotto/[Bogen] tripod. Everyone who saw me asked if I was
a professional doing some kind of a project for a client. I would say
"No." They'd look puzzled, and would then say, "But you've got all this
professional camera gear!"
