Rick,
You should have no problem with any TC on an OM-1, 2, 3 or 4.  What focal
length lens were you using?  Or do you mean mechanical blockage?

OK, so I probably missed this...
But, my "Vivitar Automatic Tele Converter 2X-21"
worked fine on the OM 10. When I try to use it on the OM-1 MD or the OM-2n
it seems to block the mirrors. Is there something I'm missing?
Yes I can knock the glass out and use it as an extension tube (and probably
will), but why is it doing this? And how do I avoid making the same mistake
with a replacement? Please don't just "OM" me... the factory tubes from
Olympus for the PEN-F series were plainly marked Vivitar. Still have the
catalog sheets from the original importer, Ponder & Best to show that.
  (Anyone need a copy?)
Thanks for your help, folks.
Rick (Still lurking on the Digest in VA)
