I see.
My refcoverter has the internal screw threads in the converter, not the
flange.
So, I must only bore new holes in the flange, then screw on the new flange.
I may be wrong, though. We'll see.

The A and M Refconverters will fit on the earlier cameras, but are a bit loose
- slight lateral movement. They stay on fine but you have to make sure they're
upright.
The older refconverters wont fit the M and later cameras as the viewfinder
mount is slightly larger.

For an M or A finder (the ones with the 1X-2X switch),

You will have to check Boz's site. I have catalogues with the Ref Converter II

That is why us Olympus users are out looking for Refconverters which might
also account for their rarity. The Refconverters don't reverse the image.
Perhaps that's the reason it's so expensive.
