1.
The OM-4Ti viewfinder magnification of 0.84x is given at -0.5 dioptres in the 
specifications for some reason, but I haven't any info on whether this is the 
'standard' setting.

2.
The brochure says the variation on the OM-4Ti diopre adjustment is from 
approx +1.0 to -3.0 dioptres. My OM-4Ti black has 22 positions, ie 21 
intervals; that's about 5 per dioptre then. But I'm not sure which 'end' of 
the scale is which!

Kind regards,

Dave Bellamy.
