If mirror "stop" tab is out of position, then mirror angle is wrong.
Infinity focus will then be off with ALL your lenses.

Subject: RE: [OM] Focus discrepancy in OM-4T: Solution sought
| On most SLRs the bar or button on which the return mirror rests in the
down
| position appears to be either made of a synthetic material, or coated in
| one. I've theorized that over time changes in the dimension of the
material
| could affect focusing calibration.
|
| But, if I'm recalling correctly, John H. dispelled these notions not long
| ago. Apparently focusing screen installation and seating are a more
| important factor. Correct me if I'm disremembering.
