Spec Notes
Mechanical sibling of the OM-4 (batteries power the meter only). NO TTL flash automation (sourced negative). Low production โ€” rarer than the OM-4; collector favorite. Intro 1983 recorded (one source says 1984 โ€” conflict noted). Weight/battery type not published -> omitted. Black only.
