Once you trim off about half of the width of the tab, screen will fit 1
through 2N. Throws meter off, yadda yadda.

Subject: Re: [OM] Screen in OM2
Beattie screens will be blank where the number would be on an Olympus
screen.
Also, I thought that the 2-series screens wouldn't fit into older cameras
because they enlarged the holding tab to prevent them from being installed.
Am I right?
