I also found out the hard way.
When I got my Winder 2, I used it first with my OM-2n, and the cap
fitted fine. Later I tried it with my OM-4 and was struggling to get it
in, but because the OM-2n cap fitted so well I twigged something was not
right and gave up trying.
Regarding the battery drain, some OM-4s will have been upgraded to
OM-4Ti circuitry - Olympus UK kindly did mine under warranty. As Piers
says - the test is the battery check switching off after 30 secs.
Regards,
Mike.
