Sorry,I'll try that again !! Point taken, and as previously stated the
engraving of a postcode on my OM1n is neat, and unobtrusive, being inside
the cassette chamber :-)) However as I am at least the second owner,
and possibly the third or forth, the postcode is about as much use to me as
a chocolate teapot :-)) I could of course now engrave MY postcode
inside this camera.......:-)) Regards, John Duggan, Wles, UK.
