thomas_d1 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>I have the chance of buying a nice, black OM-2n really cheap, but the mirror is broken. I have an OM-10 lying around that I don't use, so - would it be possible to use the OM-10 mirror as a replacement part for the OM-2n?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_carroll4 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 <p>I'm pretty sure they'll fit - however, since the OM-10 doesn't have a replaceable screen, you'll have to semi-dismantle the OM-10 to recover the screen. Also, the screen won't have the small tab needed for subsequent removal/installation. I installed screens from OM-PCs into my OM-1 and OM-4T - these were Lumi-Brite screens, equivalent to the rare and often fiendishly expensive 2-13 screens that came with later OM-3s, and which gave a 2/3 stop brighter viewfinder than the standard screen. Based on my experience, I would say that all OMs have the same sized screens.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wharridge Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 <p>Thomas was asking about the MIRROR not the SCREEN !<br> Anyhow, I'd be asking how the mirror broke. I've had OMs since 1974 and never had a broken mirror. The broken mirror might be the obvious sign of damage but there is a possibility that other parts of the mechanism are also damaged and maybe optically misaligned. If you really want a reliable OM-2N to use buy a good one, they sell for bargain prices these days.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
