The caps on my OM-3 were silver when I bought it from KEH a couple of years
ago. Does that mean (A) Olympus changed caps during production so that later
bodies got silver caps; (B) a previous owner changed caps, or (C) only someone
with too much time and too little to do would bother to ask?
And if there is a tie in the competition, I'm sure I could make Gordon a
reasonable deal on a really nice OM-3 with silver caps so that duplicate prizes
could be awarded and there would be no need to create an OM-1.5. Something
white would be nice.
