Isn't this shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted? Why
risk wasting the shot? Give the rewind knob a tug before you shoot - if
you can rotate it, there's no film in there. No need for the film
window, which would surely spoil the sleek lines of the lovely OM
cameras.
Actually a window would be very useful to check on that other horribly
common mistake, having the wrong speed dialled in. Better than the ugly
slots to put the torn-up film box into that other cameras have.
