All,
Regarding the switch on the lens mount of the OM-4 types. Exactly how does
it look? I have a OM-4 that has the switch and it does beep when you
unmount the lens, but I really can not see how it might get sheared.
Thanks,
Bryant
BTW: I picked up a Olympus 85mm F2 today. Neat chunk of glass! Any way I
should not use it?
