The controversial trouble with the early OM-4 is a battery drain issue, this was corrected with later model OM-4T and OM-4Ti. Where Nikon had the matrix system, Olympus took their own approach with the multi-spot meter on their OM-4. Nikon FA – AI-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4 – Ilford SFX 200 – Kodak HC-110 Dil. Pictured here with the dedicated MD-15 motor drive. The FA would be avalible with a chrome and black top. Plus through on the dedicated MD-15 motor drive which adds a great balance and also powers the camera.
NIKON F601 MANUAL MANUAL
Not to mention it as full auto-exposure mode, not to mention semi-automatic and full manual modes, plus these all work on Nikon AI and AI-S lenses.

But it also introduced an early version of what we know today as Matrix Metering.

Minolta XG-M – MC Tele Rokkor-PF 1:2.8 f=135mm – Kodak Tri-X 400 – Kodak D-23 (Stock) 7:30 20C Minolta XG-M – Minolta MD W.Rokkor-X 28mm 1:2.8 – Kodak Tri-X 400 – Kodak D-23 (Stock) 7:30 20C Minolta XG-M – Minolta MD Rokkor-X 45mm 1:2 – Kodak TMax 400 Kodak D-23 (Stock) 8:00 20CĪ radical shift for Nikon as it would only last in production for five years (short for Nikon). The XG-M is set apart from the other XG cameras as it has the option of both Aperture Priority and Manual Exposure control Not to mention for Alex it’s like coming home to a familiar friend as one of his early SLRs was a Minolta X-7a. It’s small, light-weight, and has a set of glass that is pretty awesome. The XG-M would become the more desirable of all the cameras in the XG-M series as it has full manual controls. And we’re not saying the cameras we have today are loud, but they certainly speak volumes.

You had the advent of consumer autofocus (which was noisy), the introduction of compact point-and-shoots, and the matrix metering systems. And then there are the cameras, the 1980s marked a radical shift in camera technology. Loud Hair, Loud Colours, Loud TV, and Louder Music. There’s no doubt about it, the 80s was a loud decade.
