Today I bumped into some ad on local site - somebody sell oly e300 for $100usd - just body, no lens (wow is it real? hundred bucks for dslr, how time flyes). I thought it could make great entry level digital body for using with manual focus lenses - 4/3 can adopt many mounts. I have quite a few OM lenses. But how to focus this setup? View through the finder of e300 is very poor comparing to OM bodies. So I will need split image screen and (naturally) OM-4/3 adapter. Does anybody here have experience with similar setup? I found on evilBay VirtualVilage screens and OM mount adapters - are they any good? How hard to install that screen into e300? Thanks in advance.

P.S. What happened to the site skin? Reminds me of earlier days of RFF
P.P.S. You guys saw many strange requests here, hope this one is not the strangest one ever.
