Leandro,
Keep in mind that a 3Ti has a ton of electronics as well, admittedly to
run the metering system, but the electronics/meter are no more or less
reliable than on a 4Ti. If the electronics go, you essentially will have
a $1500 OM-1. FWIW the OM-4Ti I own has been utterly reliable in sub
zero temps and extreme climates. (For example winter mountaineering.) If
reliability/manual body is what you want I would get an OM-1. You get a
decent used one for about $100 and for another $100 or so you can have
John CLA the body and convert the battery. I would guess that if you
posted a WTB on the list you could probably get one from a list member
for under $200.00 that already has had a CLA.
If you like manual exposure cameras and have never used an OM-1 you are
in for a treat. Over the years I have owned every single digit OM body
(except the 3Ti) I sold all of them (even my OM-3) with the exception of
my 4Ti and my OM-1.
