So Lex, what your're saying that another of your attributes is an index
finger that is inordinately long and like a sausage?
Well, I don't like to brag...
OTOH, to operate an OM shutter speed ring with my *right* hand I'd need a
pinkie like a lemur's tail.
One other OM-advantage compared with my Can-not-an-OM-on FTbn: the mirror
lockup and self-timer can be used at the same time on the OM-1; not so with
the FTbn, since the self-timer lever is pushed in reverse to activate the
mirror lockup.
A slight OM-disadvantage: the iris can't be locked down along with the
mirror lockup; the FTbn self-timer lever does both.
Not that I can see or feel much difference between the two in lockup mode.
In regular shooting mode, the FTbn twangs like a Fender Telecaster while the
OM-1 strums like a Gibson hollowbody.
