Titanium-bodied Olympus OM-4 from 1986, the ultimate OM system camera with improved reliability and premium construction.
The Olympus OM-4 Ti is the titanium-bodied upgrade of the OM-4, introduced in 1986 with a more durable body construction and improved electronics that addressed battery drain issues found in the original model. The Ti designation indicates titanium top and bottom plates that provide superior corrosion and impact resistance.
The camera retains all of the OM-4's advanced features including the multi-spot metering system, OTF TTL automatic exposure, and the comprehensive Olympus OM lens and accessory compatibility. The improved electronics provide better battery life and more reliable performance in demanding conditions.
Build quality is the finest in the OM system with titanium plates replacing the brass of the standard OM-4. The titanium construction provides a distinctive champagne-gold or silver finish that sets the Ti apart visually, while the material's superior strength-to-weight ratio makes the camera more durable without adding significant weight.
The OM-4 Ti is the most desirable Olympus OM body on the used market, commanding premium prices for the titanium construction, improved reliability, and the complete multi-spot metering system. It represents the ultimate expression of the OM system philosophy — maximum capability in the most compact possible professional SLR.
