Like I said the other day, it's only a four element design.  It's reasuringly 
heavy but the diagram on the box has me a bit
concerned.  It shows 4 elements alright but the last one is shown has two 
nearly parallel surfaces!  Like the flat glass in a 4
eyepiece.

I'm not an optical engineer by any stretch but wow!  To my eyes, it's *al*most 
a 3 element design.

No ED glass, no "SP" designation either.  In spite of the fast 2.5 aperture, 
the 1-series-like screen in the OM-PC goes dark even in
sunlight unless my eye is ideally centered.

John & Clint, I could cut the tab off my 2-13 and stick it in the PC with just 
minor surgery, right?

If the OM-PC board konks out, could I pull the same trick with the OM-10 that 
everyone recommends as a budget body?

PS, a national holiday (like July 4 here in the USA) is no time to have a bunch 
of auctions close on Ebay if you're the seller!
Don't follow my lead!  I wasn't thinking.
