Scott, in case you didn't get the hint, I looked up the Big Enabler's page
for you:
http://www.zuiko.com/Whatsleft.htm
the last lines of the section "2-13 Focus Screen" read:
"2-13 screen drops right into OM-2S, 3, 3Ti, 4, 4T, 4Ti. It will require
modification to fit OM-1, 1N, 2, 2N, and it will affect meter accuracy in
these last 4 bodies by approx. 2/3rds of stop. Tell me you'll be using it
in an OM-1 through 2N so I can modify it for you."
