: Yes, the OM-PC is a system camera, so it takes all the accesories.  About
: the only exception is that it doesn't have interchangeable focusing screens
: (not a problem for most people) and the motor drives (not winders) are
: limited to 3.5 frames per second.  Also not a big limitation.


And the back is not exchangeable. Not a big limitation either.

The biggest limitation can be the fixed focusing screen, which is less suitable
(sometimes completely unsuitable) for photography with high magnification
(microphotography, macrophotography larger than 1:1, astrophotography and slow
speed tele lenses).

Furthermore the OM-PC/40 isn't built as sturdy as the 1/2/3/4 (if you drop it,
it's dead) and it consumes too much power (advised to remove the batteries when
not in use). The light baffle round the film window can become a problem over
the years but this is an easy fix.
