I don't think the self-timers on OM-4 and OM-1 are really very comparable, since the OM-1's doesn't stop down the aperture in advance of the shutter's firing. It's really not much better than a cable release other than your being able more easily to take a picture of yourself with an OM-1.

Agreed. However, the OM-1 does have mirror lock-up, which isn't as good as the 4, but better than nothing. BTW, the 40/PC has the exact same function as the 4 series, the 2000 has full MLU/APF capability and the 10 and 20/G come close with APF and the mirror goes most of the way up when the self timer starts and only moves a bit at the end. Don't know about the 2s and 30/F, 'cause I've never had one.

The OM-3 must be at least as good as that even without a self-timer.

Again, the OM-1 does have mirror lock-up and the 3 doesn't even have that.
