YIKES! Sorry to hear that! Good luck with repairs...or finding a new body, if
necessary.

I need a T-Ring for my OM-1. I have a Celestron 80mm refractor that will double
as a 400mm f/5 telephoto lens but need a T-Ring to mount my camera. I ordered a
T-Ring from a local dealer, then someone else claimed it and bought it out from
under me! Now, I have to order another.

Oh well....
