I've had a reliable manual Olympus OM-1 for 10 years that was getting
boring in the new microprocessed age.  So, a few weeks before Xmas, I
picked up an OM-4 body, which has aperture priority via an electronic
shutter.  Great fun, especially the spot metering that I find essential
for almost anything.  Takes all the challenge out of getting a tolerable
exposure.  But I'm using the old manual a lot more than I thought I
would...

That new sucker EATS shutter batteries.  I'm only shooting 5 rolls of
film for each set.  It's a lot like a big blaster radio -- a black hole
for Duracells.  If you've got an electronic shutter, you'd do well to
keep TWO sets of spares handy.
