that's funny, I thought of this and tried it out with my OM40/PC
but found that the prisma housing was to large. Therefor I assumed it 
is not possible with other bodies. But you are right
with my OM2n the 'rotation' trick works. 
But than I have maybe another problem. For the flashwork I need
the connetor 4 mounted to the body. I have to try it out if 
the rotated body will than still fit on bellow or not.
