When I have ski-toured up in Lapland (Sarek, Narvik fells, Kebnekaise,
etc.) and in the Norwegian mountains I have found my OM-1n more reliable
than my OM-2s and OM-4Ti when it is really cold (-20C to -30C), and the
camera is kept in an external pack. I have also used a Rollei 35 and an
Olympus XA reliably in the same cold conditions, but they are easier to
keep half-warm in an external jacket pocket.
Whereabouts are you going?

Fellow ZA-members,
I think I stated last week or so that my next camera would be a Hasselbl*d.
Yeah right. My OM-4Ti will arrive later this week... This will probably
lead
to that my recently served OM-4 will have to go, and that I will need at
F280. I have also acquired a 300/4.5 (non-Zuiko) which replaces my Tokina
300/5.5. More on that in a separate posting later on.
Is the OM-4Ti more reliable than the plain 4 in rough conditions? I think
John H stated some time ago that there is no difference in sealing between
them. Would you trust any of them in a cold an humid place? I'm thinking of
taking it on my ski-trip. The normal conditions on this trip would be
temperatures below 0 C and probably not dry at all... Actually this years
trip is more easy than earlier years, we will actually stay in cabins/huts
instead of the usual Hilleberg. But this means that camera will be exposed
to indoor-climate once a day which probably means more moisture and
humidity. I will take my OM-1n but thinking of taking another OM-body with
me. Thoughts on this, share your experience!
