      Oh how I love the Olympus OM series and this is an
      excellent example of why, but then the OM1 is a legend. It handles like a
      dream, focuses easily and accurately and fires so smoothly you barely feel
      any movement. On it's first trip out the meter battery failed but that's
      why I prefer this type of camera to the later battery dependant models. As
      I usually have a lightmeter packed in my kit bag this was no problem, just
      take the reading and set manually, the camera still performs perfectly.
      Sadly I don't think my meter reading skills are as good as the camera,
      consequently some of the exposures a quite a bit off. I need to take it
      out again, preferably on a brighter day, with the meter working to do this
      legendary camera justice.
