If your dealer ordered all six of his OM-4's at the same time,
perhaps they all had the same manufacturing defect because they
all went through the same piece of broken machinery.

I have several friends who own, or have owned, Olympus equipment.
They all love it.  I don't like their cameras much, myself, but
that's because I'm left-eyed and the advance lever tends to poke
me in the nose while winding.
