Yup Marcus, that is heresy :>).
Seriously though, the discussion a couple of years back was that it
was one of the best features of the camera. I find it great, and the
Fuji RF that I have just bought has a similar arrangement.

Realizing that I stand a good chance of being impaled on a stake, my
well poisoned, my fields salted, and my name wispered as a warning
to children...do people actually like the shutter speed ring
placement on OM's? I mean the darn thing is fiddly and hard to find,
especially with a large lens and tripod ring. I absolutely hate it.
I think an OM-10 with its manual shutter speed accessory might be
just the ticket to enjoy my Zuiko glass more. Is the ring supposed
to be a desirable feature, or was it an engineering neccessity that
was carried through the line as a perverse tribute to the OM-1? It
gets worse with my OM-4, because the prism housing obscures the view
of the speed setting, not to mention that confounded and thrice
darned little button that you have to push for "bulb". I keep
thinking I'll get used to the novelty of this arrangement, but I
haven't yet. Promise me I will learn to love it, and I will try
harder to believe that Maitani's genius as a designer is absolute.

featured camera bodies)
