I think I read somewhere that the OM cameras used hardened steel (or at
least a high grade of steel) gears instead of the usual brass. This allowed
them to make the gears thinner with the same reliablity, which then allowed
them to make the body as a whole smaller. It also probably cost more.
Be seeing you.
