From the 2s onward you really need a 2-series screen to make up for the
light lost to the semi-silvered mirror (which is needed to feed the
metering system). You'll have much better luck focusing with a 1-series
screen with an OM-1 or OM-2.
Which reminds me. I seem to recall that the screen in an OM-PC/40 is a
2-13 sans tab. Can these be used as 2-13 substitutes disregarding, of
course, that there's no tab to grab when changing screens.
