The brightest with ground glass because it is fully silvered and
arguably the easiest to focus. But I would would have to demur
because it is missing the wonderful metering scale of the OM4. I
agree that the winder is smoother too. Having used both an OM4T and
an OM1n I would probably never pick up the OM1n if I had a choice. A
little nicer viewfinder just does not make up for the ergonomic
genius of the OM4. My 2 cents.
