Hi,

I have tested mine, and they actually only work to and including 2009, after
which, the two byte year field rolls back to "70." I guess the only real
impact, is you wouldn't be able to imprint the actual date on your photos
after 2009. I'm not sure if and how it will handle leap years, I didn't test
it.
I guess you could still use it beyond 2009 by coming up with some kind of
two digit code to represent the years between and including 10 - 69.

Subject: [OM] OM stuff in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Aussie Zuiks,
I happened to take a walk down the Elizabeth St. Camera Shop precinct today
and saw more OM stuff than in a long time. Didn't see any real bargains but
here is a rundown.
2x 300mm f4.5, 4x Recordata back 4 (2 NIB, 2 used), 24mm f2, OM-2sp, OM-4Ti,
MD-1, 2x 35mm shift, 2x OM-4, 21mm f3.5.
These were the less common stuff, there was also the usual collection of
OM-1, OM-2, OM-10, OM-40, 28mm f3.5 & f2.8, 200mm f4, etc.
I was a little interested in the Recordata Back 4's, but I believe they do
not work past the year 2010. Does anybody know what the behaviour is beyond
this date ? What is a reasonable price for these backs (the used were
~$AU150, NIB ~$AU200) ?
