Tom,
Ghee wiz, had I known you were placing an order from B&H I'd have ask you to add
a focusing screen to go with the OM-4T I'll be buying from you. See, I am cheap!
I will wait until I have occasion to buy film or something else to place my
order for the focusing screen solely to save $ on the shipping. After all, their
margins are low, thus they profit on shipping charges. For ex., the 90/2.0 macro
I got recently had a $19.50 S&H charge tacked on, and I did complain mightily.
Moreover, it worked. Good luck!
