You still use an OM1?

As I hinted a couple of posts ago, not all of the recent OM photos were taken with an OM1.  My experiment with flash at Christmas got me thinking. I had a T32 flash gun, which works well in a manual sort of way on the OM1, but on later models it can be fully automatic. So...hello and welcome to a nice OM2N.  All working smoothly so far, an Auto mode if I am feeling lazy, and Manual if I want to recreate the OM1 experience.  Meanwhile the OM1 with the non-working meter has moved on to a new owner. I'm sure it will have a long and happy life, never needing another battery.

Just a quick one, mainly so I don't forget it myself. A couple of less than perfect buying experiences have revolved around the reliability of the OM1's light meter. Something I learned along the way is a test to see if the meter is calibrated correctly. With the meter switched OFF, turn the shutter speed to B, the film speed to 1600, and the aperture to f8. The needle in the viewfinder should be level. Apparently, small adjustments can be made if it is slightly up or down (don't ask me how). If it is way out, it may be beyond help.
