Okay guys, I now have mud in my face, at least it hides how red I am.
Can someone send me the dimensions of this mount and various other non
OM mounts Olympus produced over the years. I am a former wannabe
photographic dealer that has a whole bunch of strangely mounted stuff
that just might be Olympus. I want to sell some of it on Ebay to pay for
my OM addiction, but perusing different sites for these mounts has not
helped.Contact me off-list if you want.
