Congratulations on starting your Olympus collection. If you stay on this
list for more than a few hours, you'll be wanting more - you'll see.
Your question
>>>it's nice to be able to look
through the viewfinder at the scene so as to decide the precise
instant when the photo should be taken (and this isn't possible with
the mirror locked up)>>>
What I imagine you could do to alay your fears is to use a Viewfinder
intended for a rangefinder camera - there is a Russian 'Helios' one that
sells here in the UK for 17.50GBP (at Global Cameras - email them at
globalcameras@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) which gives you a brightline view for 35, 85
and 135mm lenses. If you want to use it on an OM1 you will need a suitable
accessory shoe.
I bought one just to assist in selecting the right lens to use so it
doesn't need to be mounted.
