It's all on http://www.taiga.ca/~esif/om-sif.htm. Some people who
shoot slides don't like the OM-1/2, because tight cropping leads to
detail hidden by the mount.

Does anyone know the finder coverage for each of the OM cameras (OM-10
excluded)? Do any of the Om's offer 100 0.000000inders?

I have never quite understood the obsession with 100 overage on the
viewfinder. If you do the arithmetic and calculate the areas, a 1mm
reduction in each dimension results in 930f the full frame. That is
0.5mm at the top, bottom and each side. The Oly OM single digits
give you 97%. Slide frames. scanning film holders and enlarger masks
usually cover the edges of the frame anyway. If you have significant
detail in your picture in the outer fraction of a millimeter of the
frame, maybe you should step back or zoom out?
