Not so. Quoted straight from the OM FAQ maintained by R. Lee Hawkins:
http://brashear.phys.appstate.edu/lhawkins/photo/olympus.faq.html
"B27) What OM cameras can use a linear polarizer?
Which must have a circular polarizer?
Due to the semi-silvered mirrors in the OM-{2S, 3(Ti), 4(Ti),
and PC} you must use a circular polarizer with them, otherwise
your exposures will be off by 2-3 stops. The OM-{1(N), 2(N),
10, G, and F) do not have a semi-silvered mirror, and can thus
use linear polarizers without any problem."
