Hi All,
Be careful here.  The OTF will give correct exposure in Auto Mode.  But, the
actual shutter speed could be up to 2 stops slower than is read in the view
finder.  I would not want to be shooting handheld and think I was shooting at
1/60 sec and actually the real OTF shutter was 1/15 sec.
Buy a circular, unless you only shoot OM1 & 2's.
