There are two problems, Scott:

First, you need to grind down the tab on the 2-series screen to the size of
the tab on a 1-series screen to allow it to fit.

Second, you need to get the meter re-calibrated, since OM-1 meters off the
focusing screen, and a 2-series screen is brighter than a 1-series (you knew
that, right?)

The second problem will be common to the third-party screens (Beattie
Intenscreen, for example) so the only specific problem is getting your
Dremel out.

And if you want a new, wrapped-by-Olympus 2-13 screen, I'll give you three
guesses who has one to spare.

Is there a work-around that allows the use of '2' series screens in an OM1?

Or are third party offerings the only options?

TIA!/ScottGee1
