Subject: [OM] Ah!
| Happy as a pig in fresh slop. Held my breath two days ago and ordered a
| mint- OM-4Ti from Koh's Camera. Seemed like a good price if the camera's
| condition was as advertised. The sales guy said I had 14 days to inspect,
| and a 90 day warranty. Took the plunge.
|
| For starters, though I didn't ask for it, the $10 shipping included
delivery
| within 48 hours. I got the thing this afternoon. Second, the mint-
condition
| rating was a wee bit on the conservative side. It took me several minutes
of
| looking to find any evidence of use, which was a light scratch on the
bottom
| plate near the battery slot, and another very small very slight wear mark
on
| one flank. I had to be really looking to find this stuff. All covers,
etc.,
| are in place.
|
| No film yet, but as far as I can tell, everything works exactly as it
| should. The meter check noise is loud and long and steady, suggesting that
| Koh's may have installed a fresh set of batteries. They also included the
| original, albeit cheesy, Olympus strap, which appears never to have been
| unfolded, a mint Olympus body cap, and even a manual for a 4T, which
doesn't
| quite cover the 4Ti, but will be close enough until the 4T manual I
ordered
| from Tom arrives.
|
| The only downside I can see to this camera is that my linear polarizers
just
| became obsolete. Sigh.
|
| Looks like Koh's is a winner.

| P.S. Anyone out there got a MC Zuiko 90 f/2 macro they want to get rid of?
