The 4Tti/3Ti are exceptionally well sealed against the elements. I'm not
going to tempt fate with the 3Ti like I might with the E-1, but a bit of
rain won't bother it. These two OM bodies are actually a touch taller to
make room for the additional weather sealing up top.
My OM-2S was subjected to rainstorms on numerous occasions. The only issue
was the repeated problem with the flaky ISO dial.
With the exception of my Minolta A1 and possibly the IS-3, I'm not afraid to
subject my cameras to ANY weather condition. It's so liberating to not have
to worry about your equipment. Just get out there and shoot. Who are you
saving it for?
