I have a question for Frank W. Was the word "Fine" really in the brochure for
the OM-10,20, 30 and 40?
I, too, noticed the word "Lumi-Micron" in the specifications for the OMPC
(OM-40) in Shipman, '87. I checked the specs
for those cameras you mentioned in the OM Camera Guide by Ziv Kenet. All the
four cameras have Lumi-Micron matte
screens.
The 2-x screens, however, are called by Olympus, "Fine Lumi-Micron matte
focusing screens." It is possible that with
the OM-3Ti Olympus decided to reintroduce the Lumi-Micron matte focusing
screens which had been used in these OM-XX
cameras.
I am curious to know that the Lumi-Micron matte screen in the OM-XX is really
identical to the 2-x screens. The OM2000
has a fairly bright focusing screen of the type x-13, but I found that the 2-4
screen is brighter. Does anybody have
both screens?
