Look carefully at that OM-4 before saying that!  The OM-4 is source code
compatible with the OM-1.  Switch to "manual" and you've got an OM-1 with
a built-in, eight-spot, averaging spot meter!

I still think the OM-4 is the only camera to buck the trend of "do-it-for-you"
automation.  Ever hear of the "Zone System"?  That's OK, most owners of
automatics haven't.  The OM-4's metering system was designed for zoned
metering and is exceptionally easy to use that way, no tables, no charts.
