Eric - I may be wrong, but it seems to be that it absolutely does have
TTL/OTF flash metering - and it sure as a reliable motor drive that takes
either ac, rechargeable nicads, or 2As...as well as an equally reliable
power winder....

Not expensive, but stale? You bet. The OM3T is a cool camera, but on the
other hand, the R8 has features it doesn't, like 1/250 flash sync. No? How
about built-in flash meter.

I wonder how easy it would be to get a new 350 f/2.8 now.
