Dear Folks,

Now here's a funny thing...

I unloaded my latest film from my OM1 the other night, and did my usual clean 
around and inspection inside.

Since there had recently been a posting on how to decode the date code inside 
the camera, I eased off the pressure plate and had a look. I can see the code: 
S136.

>From the posting I interpret this as being: Factory "S" , Pressure plate 6, 
>and manufacture March 1981.

The only thing is, I bought this camera new in January 1979. And by 1981 only 
the OM1n was being made.

The camera has only been out of my sight once, for a CLA last year, and I know 
from the scratch on the paint of the back that the back hasn't been swopped. 

Have I misunderstood the code?

Chris
