Gee, I hope so. I spent $150 for mine! I've been very happy with the results
coupled with a 200/4. However, I haven't tried it with my
shutter-shudder-handicapped OM-1, just the OM-4 and OM-2S with
mirror/aperture prefire. Plus it's got the Olympus name on it (not labeled
Zuiko though - anyone know why?).
