Re: Hello!

I had my OM-2000 converted to half-frame by a local camera repair facility
that offers this service to all Cosina-base SLR bodies. Their website is here:
http://www.procamerarepair.com/products.htm

The service is not cheap, but it works great and they are a top-notch outfit.
One interesting thing with the OM-2000 half-frame - it has 100% viewfinder
coverage! This takes a little getting used to, but since they mask the
viewfinder, it is very accurate (unlike the OM series in general which always
has about 5-10% of the image outside the viewfinder). Don't crop too tight :-)

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance!
