  I don't know if this is economically feasible, but compatibility with
the Winder II & screens would be a good thing, as would be the spot
metering and multiple exposure capability. But the OM-2000 shutter would
not do. The lag time in the 2000 is too long, the shutter too loud, and 
the flash synch too low. It needs to go to 1/250th. I could give up the 
old OM-1 shutter speed ring arrangement as long as I get the synch speed.
