The OM-88/101 with either a PF or AF lens (with rear electrical pins)
provides viewfinder info limited to what mode you are in "P", "M" or "A"
latter 2 with Manual Adapter 2. "P" or "A" blinks if shutter speed is going to
fall below 1/60th.  There are no combination of any lenses used on the 88/101
that will show actual shutter speeds and F stops in the viewfinder because the
electronics for the display is not there.
In manual, there are 2 green arrows that light,  indicating over and under
exposure.  When the proper combo is set on the Man. Adapt,  both arrows stay
lit.
