Joe, you left something out: ".. if those bodies are all correctly
adjusted" - and have the same vibration characteristics!. Testing the
same lens on an OM-1 with mirror lock up vs. an OM-4 with mirror and
diaphram prefire is not a clear test of body adjustment alone, although
that could be one factor. The rather consistently superior performance
of different prefire cameras suggests that vibration issues are greater
than adjustment issues in this particular case.

It strikes me that the lens tests published at
<http://members.aol.com/olympusom/lenstests/default.htm> may suffer from this,
as one would expect that a given lens (same serial number) would always perform the
same regardless of which camera body (by model or serial number) it's installed in,
if and only if those bodies are all correctly adjusted. And yet the results differ
from body to body.
