I agree. I got to handle - very carefully - Jim Brokaw's minty 3Ti. Like
great food, great sex and religious experience, some things can't be
described properly in words.
I wouldn't claim that the 3Ti is in quite the same category, but it
shares the problem of being beyond simple description.
Oddly enough, I still don't want one. Following the dictum "know
thyself", I know that a beauty like you now have would languish in
protective custody, a marked up one would upset me with its lack of
purity, and I'd be bugged by the lack of mirror/aperture pre-fire.
Although I do shoot an OM-1 sometimes, I'm really an aperture preferred
sort of guy since the OM-2n came into my life about 30 years ago. Hi ho,
hi ho, it's am OM-4 for me...
