===Not so.  Quoted straight from the OM FAQ maintained by R. Lee Hawkins:
  http://brashear.phys.appstate.edu/lhawkins/photo/olympus.faq.html
   "B27) What OM cameras can use a linear polarizer?
         Which must have a circular polarizer?
    Due to the semi-silvered mirrors in the OM-{2S, 3(Ti), 4(Ti),
    and PC} you must use a circular polarizer with them, otherwise 
    your exposures will be off by 2-3 stops.  The OM-{1(N), 2(N), 
    10, G, and F) do not have a semi-silvered mirror, and can thus 
    use linear polarizers without any problem."

Would not the meter reading be off but an auto exposure be right on?
