Congrats! It's a GREAT tool. I hope you got the tripod mount with it --
sometimes they're missing on used ones.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean when you manually change the aperture
on the tube-mounted lens, it squeaks?
Mine doesn't. But it would seem to be a minor annoyance. Just make sure there's
no binding or grinding sounds.

I think this is normal. Mine does it. There are tiny ball bearings in there. I
think I read that in the OM FAQ.
