Mike Johnston, departing editor of Photo Techniques, has a '25 Best Cameras'
article in the Nov/Dec 2000 issue. Naturally, the OM4T is listed since it
has the 'best metering system ever devised for a 35mm camera'. So that's
good. Even worth a 'Hooray!!' But -
I was a little surprised that the Pentax Spotmatic was listed because it
'may be the closest we've ever come to a Leica rangefinder in an SLR...'
So, like, what about the OM-1, huh?
I suppose you'll have to excuse my chauvinism, after all this is the Olympus
list. But in what way is the Spotmatic better than an OM-1? I haven't
handled a Spotmatic myself, but I'm sure the collective wisdom of the list
has some opinions on this?
