This sounds like an excellent topic to include either in the FAQ (pages)
maintained by Lee or the OM Camera Guide (pages) maintained by Ziv.  The
topic is "will this camera work with linear polarizer filters".  By now
we have all read that the OM-1/2 can take the linear filter and OM-4
cannot; but what about the OM-3, or the OM-2SP, or OM-10, OM-F, OM-G,
OM-PC, OM-77, OM-88, OM-2000 ...?  It would be great if this information
is captured and kept with the data base of all OM knowledge.  Thanks.
