The OM4s with the battery leakages must have been a disaster for the system.
I have a Nikon Ftn, but I admit I don't use it much. The viewfinder is really pokey and dark compared to my Pentax MX. It's also much bulkier and less refined. I can highly recommend a Pentax MX if you're enjoying the KX. They're cheap enough just to try out. And the viewfinder is perhaps the biggest for any SLR (.95 magnification with 97% coverage). It's really tiny, but super-capable.

Yeah. I read that a lot of the original OM4s just eat batteries continually. Luckily not all of them do, and this one definitely does not seem to be one of them. It's pretty light on batteries. But it does have some other weird issues. It's also pretty heavy for its size compared to a mechanical camera.

I laughed out loud at the OM4ti being called a horror box. If my intro is approved, you'll see I posted a pic of my old MX along with the OM4 I got for my partner. But I've already been thinking maybe it was a mistake and I've been contemplating replacing it with an OM1 when the opportunity presents. I feel like she'd enjoy shooting the OM1 far more.
