The OM-1's are beautiful old astrocamera's - perfect for the job, lots of nice lenses for em, many manual shutter speeds, other than bulb - couple of mates have 'em - but one thing we like about the old pentax's - we use mg's/mv's ect. no K1000's - they are so blinkin light (about half the weight of an OM-1 and about a quarter the weight of old minoltas/Nikons, which of course pentax has always used in its marketing since the world began!
- one thing we really like about our old fixed lenes that we use on the old pentax 35mm film bodies (as opposed to using zooms) - is just whack 'em on infinity and your in focus! no laptops/mainframes/hartmanns/science degree needed :-) and the position is hard up in one direction so easy to check without even looking (of course you should always test that your infinity is correct with daylight shots on a wall or something - just to be sure - but ours all worked exactly on the infinity setting as is)
