Thanks CH and Paul - I was confusing it with the 1-5, 1-6, 1-7 trio, but
didn't realize what it offered.

Subject: [OM] Re: High price for FS 1-8?
1-8 is a very fine and bright screen, especially for slower lenses. Besides
2-4 it is the finest one from Olympus and it works on OM1/2 without rework
the tab. Even it was designed for telephotos I found it works with standard
and wide lenses too provided you have the F2 lenses. It is quite rare,
usually sell for very high price, if the condition is good US$51 is normal.
