C.H.,
As an added note, perhaps the reason that the E-510 finder does not bother
me is that I have never handled an OM of any sort. I have read many reports
of the fine characteristics of the OM finders. My SLR experience stems from
the use of Exactas, Pentaxes, and currently, a Fujica, so the transition to
the 510 was no problem for me, except for the transparency of the screen,
which is quite different from the frosted appearance and focusing aids of
the SLRs.
