Hello Michael,
John and others have the below advice for you, but my advice is, to check
this very well. I owned OM4 and OM2s but returned to OM1 and 2 especially
because of the visible greater and clearer image in the viewfinder. The half
mirror and the LEDs makes it worse.
I use the 2-4 screen -you have to do some easy filing job at the little
tongue to fit it into the OM1- and correct the meter with the ASA setting
(about 1 aperture step). Try it. The beatty costs in Germany about 5 x the
OLY screens! Don't know how much at your place.
Greetings from Cologne
Jochen (Hans-Joachim)
