Yes, it had OTF metering for flash, but the OTF was for regular auto exposure modes. the curtain blinds have a neutral pattern with the same reflectivity as the film. As a result, accurate metering can be made from 1/1000 sec up to 120 seconds. Continuous exposures in different lighting or different apertures can be made with the mirror locked up!
