Hello half-framer Zuiks

When I opened up the current issue of the Olympus Club magazine there
was a
leaflet by a Mr John Foster (Biofos Publications) asking for help from
collectors of Olympus viewfinder Pens - presumably all models except the
Pen
F/FT/FV. He is researching data as part of a forthcoming book on them.
He
asks that you examine your models, accurately identify them, note the
serial
number (within 50 if you don't want to give it exactly), and date it
using
the coded digits found either under the accessory shoe or on the reverse
of
the film pressure plate.

It's a useful project IMO and if you'd like to help he has a web site -
www.biofos.cjb.net and his email address is biofos@xxxxxxxxxxx, UK phone
no.
01748 884644 - after 6 p.m.

There are instructions on the leaflet on how to get at the codes, and
I'll
scan and OCR it for anyone interested.

Regards,
Keith Berry (Birmingham, England)
