These are my two: |
Yeah, I've still got a couple of OM-1s... and a good complement of OM lenses. Not sure if the light meters are any good any more though. I seem to remember it was very difficult to get batteries for the light meter. I had one converted to take a different battery. But for astro, they were ideal. No need to switch the light meter on, no power required, mirror lock, compact and light weight...
