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.

I thought it would be easy to find out this information, but it hasn't been:
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 100overage 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?
