Chris,
There are two versions of the back. One fits only the OM-1/2 series. The
other fits at least the 2SP/3/4 series, I cant recall if it fits all of
them.
There were two different Olympus part numbers for the backs. And the back
that only works on the 1/2 can be modified to work on the others. No, I
don't recall what the modification is.
This came up a couple of years back and I think Gary Reese posted all of
these answers, I am just working off memory. Hopefully he is checking his
E-mail.
Mark
