Hi again!

John - you referr to your chart - can you or anybody else tell me, if this 
prism foam is used on OM2-SP, OM3 and OM4 as well ?
So far I have been removing prism foam on 7 pieces of my OMxx - bodies, only 
one had all ready had this nasty slob-thing removed.

I now have 2 bodies that needs the prism replaced, and of course I would not 
want this to happen to the latest cameras I have as well!

By the way I se that you referr to www.zuiko.com or Camtech Photo Service 
homepage, I guess this is your shop?

You have a black bottom cover for OM1 non MD at 19$, but your ordering 
procedure is a little difficult, when living in Denmark.


"BRAND NEW, NEVER USED  Black or Chrome bottom covers for old style, non-MD 
OM-1 body.... $19 ea. Battery cap not included" 


Does these bottom covers have regular serial-numbers as the cameras do?
Could you be persuaded into accepting PayPal for this one item?
I do not feel good about sending credit-card information by regular e-mail. You 
could reply to this part off-list at my e-mail address:

rene.glad@xxxxxxxxx




Let me hear from you >:o)

Best regards René

My chart shows OM-2 chrome having no foam starting around 512,xxx  which 
continues up until 2N production started, possibly around 600,000.
OM-2 black no foam:   389,xxx through  567,xxx (approx. where 2N black 
production started. )  Unfortunately, like they didn't learn their lesson, 
ALL 1N and 2N HAVE prism foam.
