Thats the way I use it. One has to be carefull, especialy with the
OM-4/3/Ti, there flange has a hole for the memory reset knob.
To much lubrication might attract dirt and dust, and mechanical parts
might not work freely, as designed. The aperture lever at the bellows
seems not to need any lubrication.
