[OM] OM-3 Lack of Mirror Lock Up

[Winsor Crosby]

People who see lack of mirror lock up as a fault should look again at 
Gary Reese's lens tests to  see the consistently poorer results with 
OM 1 mirror lock up compared with OM 2000 or OM 4T with self timer. 
Again, Olympus took the correct path to better pictures. Of course it 
might have been nicer to have a mirror lock up that also stops down 
the aperture at the same time, but considering the cost of an OM3Ti 
in present form I wonder how much a completely redesigned camera 
would have cost for this additional feature and whether anyone would 
buy it when you could probably get a Leica R6 for less money.
