I did, and she has used it a bit. Problem is, it was damaged in shipping, and
although I got the meter/shutter working again, I suspect the lens is out of
alignment with the film plane, as the last roll I did was terribly unsharp.
Maybe I'm too picky? I will post a few scans done at 1400 dpi from the negative
(unmodified) to my Olympus History area if anyone cares to comment:

named trip35-1, 2 , etc.
I may try CH Ling's focus test method on it, and if I can get it to take sharp
pictures she may still use it. It makes a nice package with a T20, but it's
still not fully automatic.
