I`ve just been offered a OM-4 which seems to be functioning well for about
$230, including an Olympus leather cover. There were som brassing (which
are to be expected) and the shutter-ring are wery hard to turn. I`ve read
in the Olympus FAQ and elsewere that there have been some problem with
high battery drain and also with the circuitboard of the OM-4 and that
this is expensive and possibly impossible to repair. Is there a way to
check if everything is working fine, or will I just have to wait and see?
Also, the OM-4 misses the motordrive-cover underneath and the cover at the
front left, I guess these are hard to get. I just borrowed the MD-cover
from my OM-1 (which is just beatiful with the grey lizard skin from M.
Sparks).
I honestly don`t need the camera, but I probably cannot resist this time
either... :-) (as a poor student I probably should improve my photography
skills before buying more equipment :-)

Arild E. Vengen
