Right on Jim! Have you ever noticed how hard it is
to slip a OM-1 into an oversize jacket or coat pocket
with the hot shoe attached? It's just a little thing
but gets caught on everything. I wouldn't be suprised
if Maitaini designed the camera with a removeable hot
shoe for the very reason that it makes the OM balanced
and beautiful.....fire photon torpedos Mr. Couch, I'm
with you on this one. John Robison
