You had it right.  OM-3 & 4 need circular due to the partially silvered
mirrors.  

OM-1 & 2 work fine with a regular old (linear) polarizer.

Hi Everyone,
 
A very quick, On Topic question for you.  I can't remember the exact
details of which, when, and why, but I remember something about not
being able to use a Linear Polariser on some OM cameras (OM-3 & 4 ?) due
to the spot metering ?  My father has an OM-1(MD) and was told that he
needed a circular polariser because "a linear polariser will throw off
the meter in ALL SLR's".  Sounds like BS to me.  Anyone care to comment
on which (OM) cameras need a specific Polariser, which are not fussy,
and why ?
 
Thanks, and just to drift it slightly Off-Topic, what about the E330 ?
Or does everyone just add that effect later in PS or whatever ?
 
Jon
