Another convenience found on the old E-1. :-)

The D700 had that too.
I can't remember which of my cameras had a sliding eye-piece to the same effect.
Else a piece of cardboard or a thumb does the trick ;-)

Some Nikons and Canons had "Eyepiece Shutters". You flipped a switch on
the viewfinder and a blind inside the eyepiece closed to keep stray light
out. My old F4s and the F3 both had them.

Chris, a word of caution on the OM-1(n) & OM-2(n) [2(n) in Manual
mode!]:
You do need an Eyecup (better if the original Eyecup 1), if you're
planning to use the ttl meter "within reasonable calibration".
If not, light entering through the viewfinder will lead you to
underexpose film: the CdS metering cells are too near the viewfinder,
and read more light than it's actually reaching the film.
A common (near universal?) problem with (D)SLRs. Some models (no Olys, I
believe) came with a dark 'slide' that mounts
on the strap and may be inserted when using on a tripod.
Appropriate use of hand, hat, etc. takes care of it.
