> 1) On the Unofficial Olympus OM Zuiko Lens Page, it's stated that the 35mm
shift has "manual diaphragm".  I understand this to be that one needs to
select the diaphragm, then stop down using the on/off-click DOF button.  Is
this correct ?

Yes and the DOF button has locking feature.

> If you don't click the DOF yet, does the meter react correctly already, or
does it only meter correctly after clicking in the DOF ?

Only after DOF button is pressed and lens is not shifted, better use OTF
auto.

> 2) For the 24mm shift, it says "preset diaphragm".  Does this mean that
there is no click-DOF, and metering needs to be done with the diaphragm set
to the value needed ?

24 shift has the same operation mode as the 35 shift.
