Oh,
One other option not mentioned is the Brightscreen---pricey jobbies. I 
mostly use a 2-13 beautifully  scribed by John in my 4T.  I think part 
of a tab need to snipped to fit some OM's.  I remember Jeff K. tried a 
Brightscreen in his 5D
to try and use some slower Zuikos and found it an improvement but not 
great.  Some of the methods used to brighten the screen lose some of 
the out of focus cues.  Brightscreen is said to mostly avoid this but 
how well that works on OM, I don't know.  Others may have tried them.  
Katzeye screens are said to be superb, but they never made one for OM 
or the 5D for that matter.  Rachel finally said they have a FF screen 
developed but it just wasn't cost effective to market.

OM is available---suspect the modest metering issues are about the same 
as the 2-series
