>>3138466OM-4Ti is definitely not worth the money for the difference between it and OM-4. It's like, 1.3x or something silly these days. Buys a lot of spare batteries since the only major fault is OM-4's battery draining, and lack of automatic multiflash at faster than 1/60s. The prism is of course astonishing, if not as huge as that on an OM-2.
But if you're into the platform, an OM-4Ti is an extremely pimp body to have. Comparable to FM3a in terms of luxury, but the glass doesn't have Nikkor tax and it's Oly small. In any case don't be driving the prices up now ya hear.
>>3138505The amount of silver in 1-2l of exhausted photo fixer working solution is so minute that it vanishes into the sewage within seconds of flushing. Two-bath fixing will take the first fixer to maximum utilization, for those who don't trust basic figures about dilution and sewer flow and/or who'd just like to tweak their process a bit more.
Silver is considered a hazard because it's biocidal, i.e. it kills little beasties like bacteria, fungi, water bears and shit. That's why there's stabilizer for C-41, but black and white requires none -- the silver is antibacterial to begin with, and with it taken away it's better to get some poison in the gelatin so it doesn't age as quickly. So if you were dumping like, jewelry wastes, that might be significant -- but there'll be like at most tens of milligrams in a gallon of spent fixer, not enough to kill a baby frog from five feet away.
