George,
The zuikoholic in me just wants that 'official' lens cap!!
Thanks for the input - I'm going to do a few tests before I rely on one
camera vs the other - I seemed to remember the two meters were 'spot on' at
one time and matched each other exactly (with the same lens). However, I am
using a different screen in the OM4ti and that could possibly account for
the difference as well.

Jim,
Unless you contact Olympus for the lens cap, (and you'll probably pay thru
the nose) any 62mm cap with side clips should suffice.
As far as your OM-4Ti is concerned, it shouldn't need an adjustment so soon
after a CLA, IMO. You should take identical shots with the other camera body
that gives you the different reading, only then will you know if it is off
or
not. Don't forget- the pre-shot meter reading may not be what is actually
shot,
the actual exposure is determined during exposure. Each camera could
theoretically, be off 1/3 of a stop, but that will be enough to give you
what
_seemingly_ is a 1-stop different indication, wheras, each camera may only
be 1/3 off
from what is correct. Anyway, most times my camera's shutter speed LCD bar
indicator doesn't stay rock solid on one speed- say 1/60th. It's usually
jumping
back and forth from 1/60th to what 1/90th would be. You also have to take
into
consideration the question -Is each camera that you're using meter pattern
and/or meter area exactly the same?
My own -4Ti purchased off ebay, was, according to the seller, -and I have no
evidence to suggest he's lying; stored in a camera bag for 10-12 years. I
brought it into Essex Camera Service and asked them to do a CLA. The
technician
took it from me, did an examination, (I don't know if he was checking the
meter,
but he did look thru it and focus on something in the shop),and promptly
handed it back to me saying: "Save your money, camera not yet need service."
