I've got three OM-4s with the black caps. I've never had a problem, although
once I heard that it was a possibility, I took a small wire brush and fairly
vigorously cleaned the threads of each one, and a bit less heavy-handedly swept
out the threads on the camera body. So far, so good.

-------------- Original message from "John Hermanson" : --------------
>
> All new caps sold be Olympus (ZC4812) are unpainted, (aluminum or chrome
> color.). They haven't made the black caps since the original OM-4. Under
> a high powered loupe, small dots of paint are often found in the threads and
> that's all that's needed to cause problems.
