Curious - could be a sticky magnet. Try this:
Leave both cameras wound overnight. Remove lens and film. In a well lit
room, with the cameras set on "Auto" mode, press the release buttons. Both
cameras should fire at a very high shutter speed. If the shutter on either
(or both!) hesitates noticably, then you've probably got a sticky shutter
magnet.

> Has any body noticed this with a OM4Ti. I've got 2 and both behave
differently on auto for long exposures without film in them. This happens
when I try a long exposure eg 5-6 secs after the camera shutter speed has
been turned to B/60 or after the camera has timed out. The first exposure is
for 4 secs max and then the rest are OK. On the older body this doesn't
happen. This maybe be due to circuit enhancements over time - I don't really
know. The other thing is maybe I should just disregard these tests
altogeather as there was no film in the camera.
