This brings up another subject dear to my heart. Am I the only
one who peels those little gold, football-shaped (American
football) "Passed" stickers off as soon as I take whatever it is
out of the box? A few months ago I bought an OM-1n. The camera
looked nearly new, and that stupid little sticker looked even
newer, still stuck to the side of the pentaprism. It had to have
been there -- what? -- a quarter century? It's not there now.
When I bought my OM-4Ti last year, brand new from B&H, the sticker
came off before the batteries went in.
I would NEVER admit this in a public forum and would even hesitate to
confess it privately except to very trusted individuals, or perhaps a
Catholic Priest in a confessional. The "pillow tag police" are constantly
watching and periodically monitor this list for self-incriminating
confessions such as this one.
