I'm the same but don't have an OM with variable diopter. I had two
dioptric correction lenses and third party teardrop eyecups for my OM's
but lost one in the snow when doing my Oly Odyssey shots. Now that I
have only one left I'm reluctant to even take it out lest I lose it.
I've been thinking of attaching it to the camera with a piece of fishing
line and a swivel hook. It's part of what has caused me to leave film
behind faster than I thought I would. I suppose I should buy an OM-4/4T
for the built-in dioptric correction and sell the OM-2s. But I won't
sell the OM-1 or OM-2n (even though I don't use them). I've often
thought that what I need for using a camera is built-in dioptric
correction and a monacle to read the rest of the camera's settings.
