I think everyone else has failed to notice that you have mounted a 
manual focus, mechanical stop down OM 200/4 onto an autofocus E-1 which 
has no mechanical means of stopping down the lens.  Since it's all 
manual it's up to you to stop down the lens manually before pressing the 
shutter button.  Too much electronics and automation lately, eh?  :-)
