I was aware of the meter errors from light entering the finder, but is
there any risk of light reaching the film, or causing flare through the
finder during exposure? I recently shot did some outdoor macro
work with my 4T where the sun was hitting the finder on a few
shots (using timer on tripod). When I noticed, I quickly took
another shot while shading the finder, but I'm now curious whether
there is a risk on any OM bodies...
