This brings up an interesting question: How do you focus on the
"non-matte" side of the screen?  In more than 25 years of using
my OM-1, I've never realized which side of the screen I've been
focusing on.  When things look like they are in focus, the picture
will (usually) turn out in focus as well -- but I didn't realize
that there are two points of focus: the matte side and the non-matte
side of the focusing screen.  So how to you experts do it?  I am
just a "young whippersnapper" in comparison to others on this list.
