James,
Regarding CLA (cleaning, lubrication, adjustment), back when I only
had my OM-1 I sent it in to Olympus at 5 years for CLA. It wasn't until
around 1998 that I tried to send it to Olympus again only to find they no
longer worked on them (at this time I didn't know about the List). I had a
CLA done locally (not a wise move) and later re-done by someone who knew
what he was doing. The only other new-purchase OM will be coming up on 5
years soon, and even though it is working fine, I will very likely send it
off for CLA. I live in coastal SC which is VERY camera unfriendly
climate-wise so I will take no chances with it.
Regarding your American crocodile photos...are they alligators? As I
understand it the only true American crocodile only lives in Florida and is
a very rare beast. Alligators on the other hand are quite common in the
southeastern USA (I have 2 five-footers in the pond next to my house) but
make good photographic subjects none-the-less.

Subject: [OM] promised update
I promised an update to my recent query about a perceived meter reading
problem with my OM4Ti - in comparison to an OM2n. (Perceived on my part!)
I thought that the meter was reading too low possibly resulting in 1 stop
overexposure - this was based entire on the reading in the viewfinder when
compared to the OM2n and not upon an actual exposure test.
Well, when I picked up my roll of slides (finally got some shots american
crocodiles!), my dealer mentioned that they had a tester and could quickly
check the exposure. So, I gave them the OM4Ti and it tested fine! It
might be reading a small amount off, but certainly not enough to have
adjusted.
I didn't get any feedback on my unscientific poll however on how often the
readers of this list have your cameras adjusted (CLA). After a certain
number of rolls of film? After a specified period of time? Random? Never?
What's a CLA????!!
Thanks!
Jim Caldwell
