Yup, mee too! I saw some kind of living form wandering over the 2-4 screen
of my OM-2S -- I quickly got the EOS-300D (with the crappy 18-55) and took
this picture thru the 2S' viewfinder:

<http://cjss.sytes.net/etc/bicho.jpeg> you can see the centre circle of the
2-4 in the upper left, as a reference.

After removing the screen, I discovered that the 'thing' was over the
condenser(?) lens of the prism, so I grabbed the Zuiko 80/4 + 65-116 +
Kindai adapter in order to get a better picture... but it was too late!

So far, no more appearances of the creature -- maybe the present 2-13
doesn't taste as good as the 2-4 :-)

Enjoy,

...
