This brings me to a related point I've been contemplating.
It has been mentioned on the list recently (probably by John H.) that OM-10s
make good donor cameras for replacement prisms for OM-1s that are affected
by foam rot.
Should I conclude that --' though the OM-10 prisms are good -- OM-1 prisms
are more better suited for the job? Would it even be benificial for the
OM-2's viewfinder to put in an OM-1 prism?
