I have the same problem with my OM3, bought used in 1989. All lenses
comes to focus a tiny bit before the infinity mark. If I focus to
infinity my pictures are a bit unsharp. It has been to Olympus for
service, but the problem remains. The distance from lens mounth to
film-plane is apparently permanently a bit too short. I do not have this
problem with my OM4.
