See. You always need more.

I called in, as mentioned elsewhere, at a couple of camera shops, and at
one of them, Photo and Video, Merivale, the owner made me an amazing
offer. I knew they had recently taken in a lot of OM bodies and Zuikos in a
trade-in deal.
He offered me an OM 4T for NZ$80. I said; "No no Greg, I already have
more than I need, thanks all the same".
$NZ80 = Eur 35 or USD 57.7
So I left the shop and drive away. 4 blocks away I realised I needed to
inspect the 50/1.2 that came in recently in the same batch of gear, so I
turned around; and started thinking that a 2nd OM4, even with the old
circuit, could still be useful. in the end, I plonked my $$ down and now I have
it. It apparently has the new circuit in, which is a bonus..
About 10 years ago I paid locally, $750 for the 3rd hand OM4Ti silver I use
all the time.
At the very least I have a good exposure meter for the 617, for a fraction of
what those things sell for.
