addendum:
that is, the OM-4t accuracy at 1/2000 is good if 25%. which becomes
6% at 1/500.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, I did test an OM-3t and my recollection was that it
performed better than the 4t since they do not have the electronic
release that has a tendency to get sticky over time. The tested
OM-3t was sold through eBay several years ago. My best 3t I kept
for some time, was never tested, and was the last one I let go.
John H would probably know best on the actual performance
of a 3t versus a 4t. 4t's probably see more use and abuse also.
The 3t I tested was better than 10% accurate, which exceeds the
performance spec. As I said, the 4t is good if 25% accurate,
but it varies more from shot to shot.
