(Tom, I thought that this would interest other OM'ers, so I replied to 
the list also)

OK, assuming that an LCD can change state fast enough to be useful as a 
shutter, I think the killer problem was the fact that an LCD is not 
perfectly transparent when in the "off" mode (or whatever you call that 
mode). Of course, I am not an LCD expert, so caveats fully apply. <g>

OM content:

I pulled out my OM gear and "excercised" the shutters and diaphrams 
last night. I've been too busy with spring landscaping to do much photo 
work. I did find a problem with two older non-zuiko lenses though. They 
both have diaphrams that "hang" at smaller apertures, like f/22. Not a 
big deal, but anyone have an idea of the cure? The blades were not 
oily, btw. 

Be seeing you.
