I can confirm this -- my OM-PC is noticably quieter and smoother than my
OM-G (which I would expect is similar to the OM-10), not quite in the
OM-4 league, but not bad. It does in fact have  a dual mirror arrangement,
something like an OM-4, though the secondary mirror is oddly diffuse,
compared to the very bright, lensed OM-4 secondary mirror.
